    It looks MS65 to me as well. Are you saying that these places don't bother to look at the dates, they just treat all Morgans as silver bullion?

    For the most part lehigh yes.... they employ ppl that dont know coins (purposely i believe) they sell circ morgan and peace for $24... if they can for sure tell that a coin is UNC they will ask more.. ive snagged a1875s 20 cent,seated coinage,barbers,and countless unc morgans outta these places...

    If any of you live in a big city just google gold buyers... these places all seem to be about the same... they use to wholesale the coins there then they figured out they could make more $ by putting them in a showcase... but to be totally honest i feel like these types of places r what keeps the dopers doping and ppl getting ripped off... it would happen either way but they dont pay NEAR what a B&M shop would on coins or bullion and i feel like most their clientele are druggies..
    Oh well just keep selling me $300 coins for $20-$50..:joyful:

    If its indeed circulated as u suggest, wouldnt we see more rub not only on the high spots but maybe in an unprotected area like, oh idk THE CHEEK??? yes theres a lil rub on the high spots,.Most every morgan ive ever seen has rub in those exact same areas..

    Nice! Put me in the 64 camp. Nothing jumps out at me as being rub that would land it in a 58 holder. Surfaces look original, but not enough punch for 65.

    64 or 64+. They are really harsh when it comes to making that price jump in 65.

    The luster limits the grade to MS64 IMHO.

    Nice AU58 Morgan...a two martini lunch for the grader might get her in a MS64 holder though. Either way, I love the look of her (my style of skin) and at $50, you can't lose ;)
