What will it grade at???

When I had it in hand I graded it a 64PL.

I'll be sure to take some pictures of it when it arrives hopefully tomorrow and see how the two sets of images match up.

MS-61PL

 

I'll go with 63. The marks on the face seem to be scuffs rather than scrapes and hacks, but they're still the coin's biggest liability. PL or not PL is really hard to tell. I could go either way, but I'll say it's not.

 

I remember seeing this coin in hand and that was back at the end of 2016. I was really drawn in by the beautiful PL qualities of this coin. The mirrors to me did not appear to be quite deep enough for DMPL, but PL I felt was a lock, anything less and it would be unacceptable. The images do make the obverse appear a little worse off than it appears in hand. It's an unfortunate side effect of really frosty devices. As @physics-fan3.14 and @messydesk pointed out, it's a mix of light frost breaks and minor hits and nicks. They all appear dark to the camera and can be difficult to discern in an image.

My original grade assessment was a 63PL, and I still stand behind that assessment.

 

So what did it grade?

 

Just getting a chance to log on today.

Final grade is MS-63

no pl? I said 63 PL.

 

No PL designation.

 

What?!! That is insane!! Talk about dropping the ball. I just cannot see how that did not get a PL.

 

I find it difficult to determine PL and DMPL difficult to determine from photos alone. But I still like that coin. It got a pretty good strike for a New Orleans minted Morgan.

 

Talk about a near miss....

 

Au58. I suc at morgans. Think i'm catching on some what.

 

62PL (was at 61 but the reverse made me bump it up one point).

 

Late, but I was debating 63/64

 

Okay, off topic, I think.

But, If I was paying someone to photograph a coin for me, I don't want to see his giant name on the picture.

Unless of course, he is doing this for free?

 

You could always crop the name off yourself, Frank.

 

Most artists want their name associated with their product. On the other hand, my photos are so bad that I would probably deny having taken them under oath.

 

This is a good thread. I have an 1880-CC (gsa) that could be the twin for this coin, it has exactly the same bag marks across her face on the obverse and a similar reverse. I've never been able to say with any confidence what grade it would be, so now I have a better idea of what to expect if I did send it in. Thanks for posting this.

 

I also was at 62 PL, I think 63 is high considering the extreme chatterbox.

 

It's a simple branding thing. The end user is free to remove my name if they please. I never cover any part of the coin image with my name, so that removing it is very easy. It's sort of like when you go and buy a new car and the dealerships name is in the license plate spot until the new plates arrive. First thing I do is remove the dealer advertisement, but most do not. It's free advertising.
