    All Morgans are 70 to me, I win. Actually, you are the winner with those beauties. I'm partial so I'm not going to guess and embarrass myself. Thanks for sharing.

    I think they’re in the correct order.

    I’d love to find another 1886 in a rattler in any other grade than those. I cant find one.

    I love the rattlers and other OGHs (including the "new anniversary" addition) but yeah they getting harder and harder to come by :D

    Not much action on this thread, I thought it would be a little more fun than a regular GTG.

    I’ll give one of them away, which is the one with really pretty subtle rim tone. Nobody said this was the 62. Incredible for a 62:

    Must be the heavy grazes on the high points.

    I was way off on that one.

    Several got that #4 is the CAC 65. It actually has a couple of noticeable hits on the obverse. But the booming luster is truly over the top. WAY better than the other 3 (which are not lacking). The reverse is near flawless.

    Down to #1 and #2. Which one is 63 and which one is 64?

    I like that this test proved how utterly clueless I am grading Morgans. Good thing I don't collect them.

    Here they are. This is where everyone says I knew it! Lol

    I have an entire complete set of Morgans. So I am not entirely certain why I collected this subset. But these are all stunners:
