| Guess the PCGS Grade
Picked this up off ebay. Given that there has been some discussion over frosty Morgans, I thought it would be a good idea try and grade this one.
Please grade this and guess the grade PCGS gave it. I will post the PCGS grade after a few people have had a chance to guess.

Very pretty. Is that natural color? I'd say MS-66.

IMHO, AU. It shows slight wear on the high points.

I'll go with a 65.
Funky color going on on that coin, or maybe just the lighting.

MS-63 is my guess. Not very strong of a strike. I would welcome the coin for my collection though.

Icy frosting with a light rub. I'll bet on an MS65.

It looks really nice to me, the high points appear defined and the field looks pretty clean. I'd guess MS-65 and maybe even MS-66.

Must admit I am kind of curious to see just what PCGS did grade it. The coin has a lot of frost breaks but otherwise is very clean, this is one of those that could go either way in a grader's opinion - high or low. But I think it has too many frost breaks for high so I'll pick the middle and say 64.

Really, really nice. If it wasn't graded in the last 6 months, it's MS66.
