    This is the last time I'll bother you guys for a while by asking your opinions on some of my coins. So, here are 2 morgans. The 1899-O was my first old coin, given to me by my dad. The 1887 is my newest old coin. Anyway, thanks for you grading opinions.

    It seems hard to tell exactly with the pictures provided. I would say somewhere in the AU range, although it may be up to MS 63 if better pictures were available.

    Take a loupe and look at the bottom of the 7 in your 1887. If you see a thin piece of metal extending to the right you more than likely have an 1887/6. I don't think yours is an overdate, but it is worth checking. :)

    As to the grade, they both look new to me, however, it's hard to tell from the scans.

    It's no bother at all Adam, most of us enjoy doing this ;)

    I have to agree with b.j. though, kinda hard to say for sure based on the pics. They could both range from AU to MS but I can tell if what I am seeing are just frost breaks or light wear.

    Yeah, sorry about the pictures. I had to reduce the dpi on the scanner alot to get them under 100 kb's.
    GDJMSP, I'm fairly certain that what you're seeing are frsot breaks.
    zaneman, I'll have to look in to that.

    It's to hard to tell an exact grade but if they are UNC no higher than 63 IMO.
