Actually, you pay TPGs for an opinion, nothing more.
Both of your coins are post mint damage.
If anything, this proves what Doug said on another thread that photos from different angels of the same coin show different things.

I don't see any tell tale signs this has been cleaned. I'd say AU to low MS.
My Uncle was an electrician and used to save these for us kids to use as play money and would smooth the edges with a file.
I agree and in fact a low MS level 21 Morgan can be had for about $5-$10 over melt. I have an NGC slabbed 63 I picked up for $8.50 over melt a...
