    MS-65 (I see some minor nicks around her nose and cheek but still a very nice GEM coin :))

    I think the reverse carried the obverse into the 66 grade

    Beautiful Morgan. I'd say MS65.

    MS 65. Reverse is a 66, but graded on the lowest side--Obverse a 65.

    wow - you guys are grading it very generously. On the blow up of the images I was very pessimistic. The strike is superb but there are significant bag markets in the area of the fields near the nose and the eyes, and the cheek has a lot of noise. The reverse is awesome with some light marks that I can't describe on the right.

    FWIW, anyone care to hang a value on it?

    If it's anything less than 65 I'll truly be stunned.

    I didn't use the blown up images to make my assessment. After looking at them, I could see the coin in either an MS65 or MS66 holder.

    I'll post a movie of it when a few more folks chime in with a grade. Nobidy has said MS70 yet.

    Well, from my poor guess last night and the fact that everyone seems to be giving it 65/66, I'm going to say 64.

    I noted that there are at least three clashes from the "Cap V" on the reverse, but two of them seem to be in slightly lower locations than you might normally find. I can only guess that there was a CCW rotation when these two clashes occurred. There is further evidence of a clash from the twigs of the cotton bolls between the arrows and the eagle's left wing (viewer's right) which appear to be in the correct position, but what appears to be the remnant of a clash between the wreath and the right wing (viewer's left) looks slightly out of position, too. It's strange that there is no evidence of a clash near Liberty's neck on the obverse and below the "n" of IGWT. I'm guessing that this is an LDS.

    I missed the opinion last night.


    Cap V?

    A Latter day Saint?
