3 additional pics.

 

From the pictures I'd say MS-63. Is it toned gold or is that the picture .

64 or 65, don't see any marks on it. color is probably off on picture, i guess it's normal silver color not gold.

 

I was going to say at least MS-63 but after ML94539's comments, I went back to take a better look! Although it is a little hard to tell from the pictures, I tentatively agree that it is a MS-64. Nice Variety but still about a $200 coin with or without it! I assume that you got the coin for much less and hope that you don't mind letting us know??!!

The coin has a beautiful gold toning to it, but not as dark as the pictures are showing it to be.

I matched it up with an 1883 0 Morgan thats Silver color and this coin has a golden hue to it by comparison.

There is one spot on the coin that has marks you can see.
Its by the O in ONE at the bottom of the Reverse.
Here is a picture of it.

Thanks to all for the grading!

 

Without disclosing the ACTUAL price- circa 1/4th the price you have listed in your post :smile

 

Very nice cheek, I'm not seeing any large distracting marks. I'd be comfortable saying MS-64 from the pics.

 

Maybe I'm being too picky but,
I Just re-examined the coin- noticed 2 more marks on the Reverse- Eagles tail- in between the two legs and also on one of the arrows.

Here are pics.

Same grade , not bad enough to lower grade, or lower and if lower, by how many grades because of these 2 additional finds?

Thanks..
