Checked off another Morgan dollar of my list. So I'm thinking the grade of the coin doesn't really match the grade given by the TPG. I'm wondering what others would think the grade would be. Same coin different pic Its in a old holder.
Details? The fact that the whole coin is super clean and there appears to be some crustiness only around indented areas makes me think someone possibly dipped the coin. I can't see too much cartwheel luster either.
Yup, I thought the coin looked better though. The cheek is clean and the eagle's breast feather looks good too. The only thing I saw was the marks on the reverse rim.
Looks like a very typical 63. Nice toning there, and I think a better picture would do it more justice.
I thought I saw a smidge of wear on the eagle's face/beak, but yeah, better pics probably would bring out the details better. Compare the first pic to the last one...the breast feathers are much more detailed in the last pic and it looks like a weaker strike and not wear. It seems clean otherwise. I've generally thought that S strikes were the best and O were the worst, with P somewhere in between when it comes to Morgans. I'll go with 63 although I think it could push 64.
