    Wow. Hard to judge the fields as the images are a little blurry and it looks like there’s some chatter here and there, but I’ll bet that thing is just stunning in hand.

    I’ll guess 66PL and a CAC sticker on the old holder.

    I'm trying to get better photos but it's a new phone and thw camera isn't that great. Motorola Z4 play/mod phone. I added new photos. Hope they are clearer on your platform as they are on my phone (it is about time for new VA glassess/eye exam):banghead:

    Those updated ones look much better- I’m thinking the reverse doesn’t quite make PL based on those but she sure is a beauty.

    I think its a 67
    Holder probably says 66 (gradeflation)

    I'm saying 63 because the hair is detail great and so is the eagle, but there's a lot of extraneous activity (dirt and stuff) on her face and the obverse field. Not so much on the reverse.

    I hope what I'm seeing is just on the slab.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I'm easily in the 66 camp. Strike is great, luster appears strong, eye appeal is good. There are only a few small luster grazes on her cheek, and relatively mark free elsewhere. Great coin!

    I'm at a 66 as well. I love the look of this Morgan, nice white frosty Liberty contrasted against a semi-PL field. Overall great strike for a New Orleans. This should be an easy 66 CAC.

    I'll venture MS66, nice frosty devices but the images only suggest semi PL at best.

    66 here too. I was excited to see others guessing that grade also when I scrolled down.

    I could easily see MS 65 on the holder, but my grade is 66+ (shot 67) based off the images. Nice looking coin!

    66 sounds accurate. Nice coin!

    Welp. There went my small amount of confidence in my ability to grade Mint State Morgan's...... o_O

    I have a lot to learn.

    Don't feel bad. My photos weren't of the highest quality.

    Thanks! I do feel bad though- I was way low at first glance. I'm watching for more of your GTG's so I can sharpen my skills.

    I don't collect the series but I think it's crucial to know how to grade Morgan's in order to know the market.

    I have some real sweet toners to do but they need high quality photos...
