    It's an XF-45 coin.

    I'd give it XF-45 and maybe even an AU-50 depending on luster. It's an O mint, so I'd give it a little credit for maybe being weakly struck.

    But I'm still learning, so you may want to go with the others.

    Higher quality pics needed but: cleaned, AU-55 details

    Being a New Orleans mint, thus likely a weakly struck Morgan $, I would give it a XF-45. However, this coin may have been cleaned, but hard to tell from these pics.

    Well it seems that it is atleast an EF-40. Whether it was cleaned or not, I can't tell by the pics.

    Thanks guys, the pics were a little vague, but I only have 100kb to work with, and my scanner isn't exactly the best. I got the thing for almost free, so whatever it ends up is good. I think that it is cleaned, becase a lot of morgans are dipped.

    The fields don't look right to me. I'd say BB for either cleaning or altered surfaces. I've gotten burned enough on these to know the look, sadly enough!
    If original, XF-45
