    Unless I can add to the Peace and the Buffalo sets.
    I am a sucker sometimes for a smooth early die stage coin.
    Do you think this one musters the grade?
    Opinions please.

    MS66. If those marks on the cheek are deep then 65, but I don't think they are.

    Not deep just a luster graze.

    Uneven toning, striation lines, tells me it has been cleaned. The many scratches on the face, neck, and forehead are minor distractions, rim dings on the reverse. Luster on the high points is fair. Overall, a nice coin. All Morgans are worthy in my opinion. MS-64.

    Are those scratches on the face, on the slab or is that weakness in strike?

    I'm not qualified so I'm not guessing. But I'm spot on here, dazzling eye candy!

    MS 65...I think the graze on the upper part of the cheek keeps this out of a 66

    There are some planchet striations that are seen under magnification in the fields and can also be seen under the frost on the cheek.
    The rest is light die polishing and slab scratches.

    No qualification needed. It's just a guess

    Here is the grade. Nothing seen in the photos are present when rotating this coin in hand except the light contact under the eye. It has very good eye appeal for a blast white Morgan. The reverse shows a of a PL but that is common on the S mint Morgans. It isn't my ideal Morgan I like a little toning at least around the perimeter. But for the price it was a no brainer.
