I will guess 62 also, but 58 would not surprise me a bit.

 

I guessed 58 because it seems to have a bit of rub. However, it doesn't otherwise have many marks. If it's uncirculated maybe it would even go 64?

 

AU53 Hit 55 in the poll by mistake.

 

Should be MS62, I'll go with 63.

 

Guessed AU 58

 

It's a slider. I will go with AU 58.

 

I'll slide with 58

 

AU-58

 

58

 

AU 55
Rub on forehead, weakness in feathers above "E"
Beak ding
Gouge/chip in front of junction of neck and chest
That said, wonderful coin.

 

Very interesting that no one thinks it's a 60 or 61.

 

Do slabbed MS60's exist anymore?

 

I've seen Morgans that have taken more abuse with an MS 63, so MS 63 it is.

 

'58........

 

Well, I suppose we can put an end to this...,,, The dealer at the show I got it from had 7 of these Indians, a few 1926s and 1932s, along with a pair of 1914s and a 1914-D. This was the lowest graded of them all, an AU58, and looked superior to most of the MS62 coins, and vastly superior to the one MS61 coin he had. There was an MS63+ that was obviously superior, but even it had at least as many marks in the fields as this coin in 58. As noted by a few posts, it does have a trace of rub, though the reverse is as nice as most MS62 coins I've seen, or even a little nicer. And the best part? Sold for about $140 over melt which I thought was quite reasonable. I only wish I could pick-up a few more dates in similar condition for the same price. Seems like AU50 coins are quite common for many of the dates, the better grades of MS62 are common for just a few dates like 1926 and 1932. And anything decent in any of the other dates gets seriously expensive pretty quickly.

 

I think you did quite well for yourself! It's a lovely coin.

 

Great pickup Prince!
