I just bought this and a Peace Dollar (which I might post later if anyone is interested in looking) from a friend of mine and was wondering what you think about it. The scratches on the surface are from being in the bag with the other MS Morgans, but they're very small and shallow. I know the Morgans aren't rare, but I had to have it as a collectible anyway. Tell me what you think (grading, value, any comment)! Thanks!

I'd say grade is AU details but damaged. Value, a bit over melt. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   08-05-2008, 12:34 AM   #3 (permalink) Hobo Numismatist In Training     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Colorado Springs, CO Posts: 5,027 My Mood: I hate to say it but we will need better pics than that to grade your coin. I assume you scanned it because it has that "scanned look" where everything is pixelated. Maybe someone here can advise you on how to set your scanner to make better images. __________________ No state shall emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, coin money . . . - US Constitution, Article 1, Section 10 ANA LM-3799; OHNS LM-59; SUSCC R-4005.

I tried taking pictures of it, so hopefully these are better than the scan. Tell me what you think or if you have any tips on digital pictures/manual focusing...it's kinda difficult. Thanks!

What I thought might be damage was just the other pics. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   08-06-2008, 11:21 PM   #7 (permalink) sketcherpbr Enthusiast     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Tennessee Posts: 662 ok, thanks! __________________ Monetary values amount to nothing in the face of a coin that's survived centuries to make it into my hand.   08-09-2008, 12:46 AM   #8 (permalink) quicknight Member     Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Virginia Posts: 71 I would have to agree with GDJ, AU-53.
