I have handled quite a few of these over the years and this one in hand doesn't throw any red flags to me... Will it grade? I sure hope so. __________________ Matt Dinger Lost Dutchman Rare Coins   06-26-2009, 01:04 PM   #6 (permalink) Upvalley Junior Member     Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 34 Add me to the "WOW" crowd.

In fact, I have never seen a counterfeit Proof Morgan dollar. The worst case scenario would be a no-grade due to altered surfaces.
