Think this 1888-O Morgan in an OGH MS65 might upgrade?

It is questionable if it would plus and it will definitely not go
MS-66.

all the neck scruffs, I'd say it's a 64. So, in my humble opinion, for whatever it's worth, no it will not upgrade.

Out of 10 submissions this would probably come back 64 at least once.

The reverse is very nice, especially the breast feathers.
Looks like a SF mint piece.

I think in 1986 it would have been a Pc 64.

It is what It is
Nope
I do think the 88-O in 63-up is a lot scarcer than the current values imply... I just don't see them as often.

Agreed.
Judging from the 'spread' between 4 & 5, I wouldn't advise removing that one from the slab under any circumstances.

I'll take all you have in that date/mm that look like that for $35.

<< <i>Ok as a 65 with no upgrade shot.
Don't think it would get a sticker either.

I could not say it any better.

That baby is a PQ 65 all day long.
<< <i>Those commenting that it looks like a 64 are nuts and need to examine a lot more 64s. Either that or get their eyes examined.

I wish the lighting were better on the photos, but I tend to think that it's a solid 65, but no higher...
It looks like a nice 65 to me.

So are you saying it's 65+? Cause you will make me feel better if you say yes.

It's pretty unusual for ANY coin to come back the same grade 10X in a row....unless you feel this coin would only come back 65-66 if submitted 10X. The only way for this coin to NOT
come back a 64 at least once in 10X is for it to be a very strong 65 (ie a 65+). The TPG's have their tough days and their easy days. It's unusual not to get a tough day at least once
in every 10X out. I'd love it if coins would usually come back the same grade 10X in a row. It would mean the grading problem was really solved.

I agree. Looks good at 65.

but then it will still be a 65
My thought was that it looked fine as a 65, but the carbon spot on the reverse and the light contact marks on the obverse hold it from being a higher grade.
