Grade opinions on this 1880-o

I bought this coin for nearly double greysheet today, as I disagree with the grade on the holder. I'm interested to see what all of you think.

Zaneman- Very nice :thumb:

Im saying that it may pass for a MS66

 

Woah Big Z, That's a Pristeen Gorgeous coin! MS-67/68 is what is deserves. It probably was graded MS-64.

Good Luck

Minimum MS66. I own silver eagles graded MS69 that are only marginally better than this.

[edit - keeping in mind that my grading skills above AU are somewhat weak]

 

Nice looking Morgan.I'd say MS66 at the highest.There's some too much rim damage to go higher IMO.

 

I love that coin...MS65, but probably would get a 64...just cuz thats the way thing are..... :sad:

 

At least a 66. A very strong strike (esp for an O), nearly flawless on the surface. Could easily go to 67 or higher if the eye-appeal is there too (tough to tell from pics).

Nice coin!

 

Very clean face , limited dings . should fetch MS65 with a shot at 66.

 

I guess high end 66 with a shot at 67. Hard to tell without coin in hand. I guess ngc graded it at ms-66.
Nice coin whatsoever.

 

For an O mint coin this is a killer IMHO---I'm guessing NGC graded it? I won't tell Mr Hall on you
My grade MS65/6---the lighting on this photo might be covering some marks on the face---I can't tell....its a killer coin for sure.

Thanks for the opinions everyone. It is in a NGC 64 slab, and I felt that the coin was a 65. The coin has wonderful luster, a monster strike, and out of ngc and pcgs, there are no 1880-o's graded higher than a 65.

 

Doug, I haven't seen too many NGC slabs, butt I think this one was graded sometime after 2000. Here is a picture of the cert. I can't see any signs of surface alteration or cleaning, tooling etc.

 

I wonder how many times that coin was dipped to be that brilliant white?

 

Oh, and it looks a solid 65 IMO.

 

The surfaces have 65 or 66 written all over them. If NGC graded it 64, I would wager it was because of the dipping robbing it of luster...Mike

 

wow, that is nice! I agree, it looks nicer then a 4

 

whatever it is 65/66 it definately needs a star as it has startling eye appeal.
