Opinions much appreciated about this 1895S Morgan

My old eyes say DMPL64 but before I have the "Experts' grade it I thought someone here could advise.

Graffiti or bad scratches on the cheek, sorry.

 

Tooled and whizzed to add to all the other things this has had done to it. Sorry hard pass!

 

So far it's unanimous, save the fee.

 

I agree. Pass on this one. Lots of face scratches, and hits. Maybe, if you can get it for F-12 money. But, I'd pass.

 

This coins condition makes me believe it was a belt buckel piece....then whizzed or tooled to try and save a lost.cause....it is a problem coin even at f 12 money it is a loss! One the "now owner" or present ....want's to make go away.....yes a 95s is a key coin but a key that has issues as this does one needs to walk away.

 

Something just looks off to me, the mouth and nose area look wrong. Definitely not a gradable coin especially with all the scratches and 'graffiti' and rim damage.
Definitely not a 64 and not a PL sorry OP

 

Yep that cheek graffiti kills all value in the coin. TPGs might say it damaged, cleaned, details. Meow would definitely not grade that coin.

 

It will be a “no grade” situation if you send it to a reputable TPG. There are intentional marks on the cheek and the fields look unnatural as if they have been smoothed. I have seen 1895-S dollars with P-L or semi P-L fields, but this pieces looks odd.

 

How can you call this DMPL based on these garbage pics?

 

Here's a PCGS MS64 DMPL...

 

Exactly...

 

Pity. It's also a VAM 4 (S/Horizontal S). It would probably have to be worn down to VF before it would grade, given all those scratches.

 

Overlit pictures attempting to hide issues. Hard pass for me (especially with the scratches).

 

Agree with the others. The stars are flat as well.

 

Thanks to all for the input, with the money I saved I'll get a new pair or glasses.

Damaged, scratched, and ungradeabe as well. Looks cleaned also. A disaster coin. Why was that date not slabbed previously? Answer—because nobody would grade it. Looks like a Great Southern Coins set of pix.

 

Hi Dude,
As a follow up I sent the coin back with a note that it looked like a belt buckle Tom Mix wore in the 40s.
After he got finished cussin me out he chided me for saying it was a 1940 instead of a 1895 and how did I know the name of the owner meaning "Tom Mix".
After I got finished laughing I went and changed my shorts. This clown must have been a 22 year old Professor at Harvard !! "No offense Harvard grads".
Personally I don't smoke the funny stuff.
