and this is why I don't collect Morgans. I have zippo ability to grade them (at least from photos).
Thanks for the explanation. In the photos the field nick stood out like a sore thumb to me. In hand, much different.

The photos aren't too hot and so I can't judge the surfaces well which is key with these branch mints as so many coins have been processed. In...

I really can't tell from the images about the purported cleaning. I'm surprised it didn't grade.
I think AU58 but could also see it as a 63. very tough to judge rub and luster on these.
before I saw the ngc grade, my guess was au55, as there is obvious wear on the portrait and in the obv fields. A nice looking example, the late...
