Liberty's cheek and the eagle's breast both appear as if they might have light wear.   06-28-2009, 02:55 PM   #5 (permalink) kevinslack silvereagle   Join Date: Dec 2008 Posts: 162 My Mood: ill be able to tell more when i get it, then i will post better pictures, with all the toneing at least it hasnt been cleaned im hoping for ms60, i want to sent it to pcgs for grading if it looks good.   06-28-2009, 04:11 PM   #6 (permalink) mgChevelle AMERICAN     Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: SF east bay area Posts: 747 My Mood: hard to tell, but it might make ms __________________ I'll keep my guns, freedom, and money And you can keep the Change   06-29-2009, 10:36 AM   #7 (permalink) raider34 Morgans Morgans Morgans     Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: New York Posts: 3,012 My Mood: Nice toning, the coin has some light wear, I would say AU50-AU55.   06-29-2009, 10:39 AM   #8 (permalink) jello Numismatist     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Alabama Posts: 2,842 My Mood: With the small photo I agree AU. but with a closeup it maybe MS. __________________ no one right 100% of the time ***The only dumb question is the one not asked***   06-29-2009, 10:41 AM   #9 (permalink) codydude815 Wannabe coin dealer     Join Date: May 2007 Location: The middle of nowhere in central illinois Posts: 1,107 My Mood: I think the eagle's breast has too much wear to be AU. Im gonna go with XF45-AU slider __________________ The Cody has spoken   06-29-2009, 05:46 PM   #10 (permalink) coins123 Member   Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 34 Id say au-55. Hope u didn't pay MS money for that coin. I collect Morgan dollars and know for a fact true MS 1886-o are very scarce. Most of the "MS" examples are really "AU" I see it on ebay all the time with sellers overgrading AU coins by calling them MS-xx. Big price difference between the two.   06-29-2009, 10:39 PM   #11 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,314 My Mood: AU55 at best. I'd say AU50 The hair and the eagle's breast have a good amount of wear, and the toning isn't that attractive, but that is just my opinion. __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   06-30-2009, 11:41 PM   #12 (permalink) kevinslack silvereagle   Join Date: Dec 2008 Posts: 162 My Mood: when i get it i will put up better pictures. i dont think you can see the back good enough to see if the brest worn or not. i bought the coin by front picture which looked ms to me, hope the back is just as good as front. i have seen ms coins graded by pcgs that had alot of coin marks on them. the front of this coin looks pretty good to me but will know in acouple of days.   06-30-2009, 11:57 PM   #13 (permalink) chip chip   Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Northern Illinois Posts: 583 Blog Entries: 14 As is often noted, grading from a photo is not very authoritative, you need to hold the coin, turn it this way and that, look at the details from different angles, from the photo I would call it a low xf, but that could only be the fault of the picture, or perhaps my puter screen needs to be windexed?   07-01-2009, 10:58 AM   #14 (permalink) jello Numismatist     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Alabama Posts: 2,842 My Mood: In a gloved hand is the best way to grade any coin. __________________ no one right 100% of the time ***The only dumb question is the one not asked***   07-01-2009, 11:35 AM   #15 (permalink) just coins Just coins dealer   Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: upstate NY Posts: 1,313 My Mood: Au 55 to me, there's toning on the coin but not a nice toning Joe   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
