Agreed--it definitely lost some luster from the dippings. Still an MS coin, but not BU--the chin hit would deduct one full grade by itself IMHO. Dipping makes the coin look less attractive.
I have posted a few Morgan's on here and I just got a magnifying glass for my iPhone and I get better pics of the where you can see the luster on all of them
Don't think so, as I do not see any hairlines, swirls, or pitting that would show a mechanical cleaning or polishing. Just looks like a bad case of overdipping that yields the dead luster look that so many zealously dipped Morgans possess. I think low level MS.
I understand that. Get set up for the photo just like you would normally do, but before snapping the pic, rotate the coin 90 degrees CCW. Try it! Chris
