Anyone want to grade a Morgan to close out the holiday weekend?

Here is the best I can do in the interim; if you want to see a hi res pic, go to photobucket and search for dgrennan96. Thats my album with the only two pictures that I can get to at the moment. A little bit of a jog, but it is all I can muster at this point.

I found your pictures on photobucket and I will post them using my account so the forum can see them. Here they are:

When you do this search you have to search for "people." The default search is for images and will yield nothing.

 

As for the grade, I am inclined to say this coin has a touch of wear and I would call it a high AU. The toning also looks interesting to me, I'd imagine the coin was treated in some way...possibly dipped in the past and has retoned.

 

Thanks to both CamaroDMD and GDJMSP for the offer to help out. I still can't quite figure it out, but I am working off a wireless connection without the originals and so things are slow.

When I originally compared this with my other coins, i thought it might look close to MS62; the majority of the wear I can see is on the reverse with the breast feathers. Under a 10x loupe, the detail gets lost a little compared to a cleaner grade. But the primary fields on both sides look pretty clear.

Anyway, it is the best surprise that I have found over the course of three years; in addition, I needed this coin in my basic Morgan set (hence the 96 designation; no 7/8 tail feather or overmint marks). It is already in an airtite, waiting for more friends as I find them. I would say too bad about the toning, although since it is a family piece, I enjoy the color that much more.

Thanks again to all that assisted, and I will attempt to figure out the photo upload before I share future coins.

 

I'd call it a 61/62

 

Nice job on the demo. Camero.
I like the coin, it looks 63 to me.
