in a pcgs holder, no cheating:

VG6

No, VG8

No, VG10

No, VG7

I'm with the VG-8 crowd on this one.

… · October 1, 2008 12:30PM

VG 10

rays · October 1, 2008 12:35PM

Its clearly better than a good but not a fine. That leaves VG8 as the only possibility. I rest my case.

10

I don't understand how you could say 10 when its so clearly an 8. See above.

vg8 crowd here

BigAl · October 1, 2008 12:55PM

this is disappointment mixed w/ veiled criticism, not a guess the grade thread. some 8's for you to compare:

I've seen a G4 that looked similar to this, I'll guess that.

rays · October 1, 2008 1:16PM

Although there is less wear on the two examples pictured, the eye appeal of the OP is superior and counts for something.

lcoopie · October 1, 2008 1:28PM

G4 for me

Good-6

06 for me but here's a thought. With this group creating a kind of bell curve grade-pread, I bet if this Morgan were cracked and re-subbed as many times as you have votes here you would have two very similar curves. Rob

VG08...

real grade = g-6
slabed grade = g-6

I go with 6 also because it's not bad enough for a 4, which would have a completely smooth eagle and not nice enough for an 8 because the leaves and cotten balls are merged a bit too much, imo.

<< <i>real grade = g-6 >>

<< <i>slabed grade = g-6 >>

real grade = 6 possibly a 4 if lucky enough to not get bagged, which i think would happen >50% chance if cracked
slabbed grade = 8 a disappointment IMO especially for a key morgan date, this coin is a total dog in this plastic

The bidding speaks for itself, there's no comparison b/t these two 8's:
currently @ $212
currently @ $431

Of course it is in an 8 holder. Eye appeal counts for a lot in the grades of 6-10, wear less so. So many coins in these grades have problems.

guess the grade
