    I have identified this Morgan as VAM-5A but would like some input on the grade.

    Quick check at PCGS Photograde it’s F12-F15.

    edit to add: NumisMedia FMV lists this date/F12 at $1,380.00.

    Fine-12 sharpness, but I’m concerned about the brightness in the fields and the dark halo around the devices. Could be a sign of improper cleaning.

    Assuming a straight grade (I don't see anything that would get it "details" but some people are pickier than I on such things) I'd go F-12 at least, maybe F-15 on a good day. Basing this on comparing pictures to my ANA grading standards book.

    I'm going with no better than F-15, but send it to me and I'll further examine it.
