Breast does not look doubled to
me. As for a grade..... I'd say MS 62

 

:devil:Sorry that the photo Doubled , I am no sure how that happen:foot-mouth:

 

I'm thinking it will grade at least 64, but are you sure it's a 7/8? It looks like a 7/4 with the Long Nock to me, but it could just be my eyesight.

:kewl:Here were I see the extra Boldness or Doubled rev it just half the top of breast feather.under the neck and about half way down the Eagles breast.not easy to photo while still in PCI slab.but when you look it looks like high relief area.PCI has it grade a Vam#33
:thumb:Chris right on the money as it being 7/4TF too as that list as on detail of a Vam#33:thumb:

It's not a 7/8.

Look inside the loops of the 8, there is no leg from a 7, which would be present if it were a 7/8.

Most of the 7/8 strikes I've seen in hand, you can make out some of a 7 being there and an 8 being struck over it.

I agree this could hit a 64 grade.

 

Ms63-64

 

I've yet to find a '78 without doubling somewhere on the coin. Not sure what those guys were smokin' (or drinking) but I'm thinking a perfectly minted '78 free of any doubling would be a very special coin!

 

I'm saying AU58 on this one, guys... I definitely see some rubbing evidence on the bust's cheek and eagle's breast.
Nice coin, but doesn't look like a mint-state piece to me... But certainly close. :thumb:

EDIT: Maybe ANACS'd give it an MS-grade... But they do so for former PCGS AU55's. :too-funny:

 

Naw, it's an unc, not just an ANACS's unc but even a PCGS unc.

 

We're talking about the tailfeathers, not the date. It's a 7/4TF. If it were a "7 over 8" date it would be worth a fortune! LOL!

thank you!!! All & Merry Christmas to all!!!

I am 100% sure this will grade MS-62 7/8 weak Vam#33 or better but Details my change.
After Collecting Morgan Dollars for almost 50-52yr & 25 year having them graded you do learn a few thing's, even my 61year old eyes are not that bad.

 

Too much Captain and coke the night before, and too early in the morning yesterday:cheers:

 

When you consider that ALL of the 7/8's are technically doubled dies because they have been hubbed with two different hubs each with a different design it wouldn't be surprising you see doubling.

Isn't the VAM 33 the double leg? That kind of answers your question about doubling.
