Guess the Grade 1888 Morgan

Couldn't resist this one, but now I have a bridge to cross when I get it. Will explain at the reveal. Common date, but I'll say more later.

Very nice coin. At least the pics are nice. I'm willing to bet absolutely nothing that it's a MS66. Great brilliant Silver.

 

I liked it. It irks me to pay bigger money for XF or less specimens to complete my Morgan set. So I spend my money elsewhere. Because of that, I'll never complete the set. But I'm easily entertained with a few holes unfilled. I really need to unload a bunch of duplicate dates/mints. What the heck, I might start filling up more boxes with Proof Like and DMPL just to thumb my nose at key dates.

 

Spectacular! I’m guessing MS67. No face chatter, clean field surfaces and brilliant luster! What’s not to like?

 

Thanks for the comment and guess. We have a lot of sharp eyes here, I want their opinion on grade. Appreciate ya!

 

Mr Numi.........you do know you aren't eligible.

 

I'm torn between 66 and 67. I'll go with 67.

 

The coin is very nice but it’s in a green label PCGS slab. Grading standards were tougher back then. I do think it would grade higher if cracked out and resubmitted today.
With a green label the highest I think it would have been graded would be a
MS-65.
