Heavily toned coins are SO hard to grade in photos because the toning can hide so much. Looking at the photos, I do see some minor hits in the fields...especially on the reverse. It has a few dings here and there but overall has lovely eye appeal. Strike isn't spectacular but also isn't terrible. I feel it has a few too many imperfections to make 65...but again, so hard to grade toners in photos. I'm going to say it's a stunning MS64+.
My first impression was AU, my second impression was that the coin just looks hinky. The colors and progressions are strange for a Morgan Dollar. I suppose this could have happened after decades in an album, but it could also be the work of a coin doctor. Anyway, I am sticking with my first impression. AU58
I agree with the guys who say it kind of has an AU look. But I'm guessing it's a slider that was forgiven, and even boosted for color, my best guess is 64. In hand I might think differently. It's no better than 64 anyway, that's all I can say with some confidence...now watch me be way off.
I have to go a bit higher say MS64.. hard to judge a toned coin like that lol I see no wear or rub and no major dings so will stick with 64
First impression was just a weak strike, but upon blowing up the TrueView, I'm seeing wear in several places and the scratches on the reverse also bring it to a AU58, IMO.
Is that a little bit of wear on her hair right above the ear? Other than that that I'm not seeing any wear. I don't know. I'm still going to guess ms 63 and assume it's just my eyes. Very pretty coin!!
MS-64 your pics make it look nice I do not like the Trueview pics though, to me they make the coin look strange.
@Morgandude11 Lovely coin. The toning might be obscuring a few other minor imperfections but I have it as a MS 64+ It appears your poll will not allow a grade AND a + symbol
No real shock with this one. It has been deemed MS twice—it was in an NGC holder as a 63*, and the previous owner went for upgrade. The toning has been deemed market acceptable—I suspect it is the combination of Sulfur paper roll toning, and “good ole blue” album toning.
