Throw a grade on this 1887 Morgan-

I would like see what any of you think this would grade at NGC & what your opinion of the coin is.

I picked this one to show in particular because I want to see if they will no-grade it because of the flaw in the hair. It looks to me to be as if it was a strike thru of some sort or possibly a planchet flaw. The detail is still all there under that little stripe . Also the litte thing on the nose is actually a dice chip.

Either way thanks for looking-

The first 4 pics are camera & the last of the OBV. is a scan . The REV is so nice thatI decided to leave thta one out & Im not allowed any more pictrures in 1 post :smile

Well Buddy, I think it's a pretty easy MS-64.

The face and neck look like a bad shave with a bic razor. The mark on the hair is tough to determine but I don't think it would be body bagged. All in all I think it would be someone around MS61 / MS62

 

Ms-62

 

MS-62, with a great reverse! The bottom half of the cheek is a little too "baggy" or marked up for a higher grade, imo. I don't see any wear, but I miss that from time to time.

 

I think the planchet flaw is too large for the coin to be graded.

 

From the photo, there appears to be some wear on Liberty's cap. Due to the planchet issue, I would give the coin an AU-53.

 

NCS would slab it, but it looks a little iffy for an (uncirculated) NGC holder.

 

I would say AU-53. It appears that there is wear on Libery.

 

OK guys I sent it off today to NGC; we will see. ...I'll post the results in about 3 weeks

 

She's Back !

Well here she is - graded out at MS64 . :smile

 

Congratulations. I'm surprised. That's why I hesitate to even guess at the grade of a potentially uncirculated coin. Everything in the world is starting to look AU to me. It's like a disease.

 

:thumb: and

That is a real shocker! Well, congrats on the high grade anyways.

 

Lucky guess... LOL...

 

Does that mean I took bad pics ? Or that they were just deceiving rather than having it in hand ?

 

GD - you are usually not wrong & I just want to grasp what your eye was possibly picking up.
Let me see if I can spot what you were seeing. The spots I circled ?

Thanks -
