From the pictures, I don't see obvious cleaning but a small patch of hairlines that can only be seen at certain angles is enough to cause a coin...
it's no from me ....6/5/4/5 ....area under the third column has enough of a break to prevent the designation
PCGS always had the weaker standard for full bell lines. I'm not sure why they chose that. Maybe it was influenced by dealers or whoever was...
I second the idea of selling to the dealer that offered $170. With eBay fees of about 13% and shipping being another $5 (usps ground advantage),...
My guess is that the 58 and lower FBLs at PCGS are mechanical errors or database entry errors as their website states they don’t give the FBL...
They do have a counterfeit slab. I'm not sure what they would do if they were not able to make a decision ...or is that only NGC/PCGS and ICG...
Nice work!
ICG would also put altered surfaces into a slab (found an example online). NGC seems to be the only one that won't (I have a Morgan that came...
And I would call the 1955 FBL....I wonder if the TPGs would call it a 62 FBL (slider/market grade) as opposed to 58 FBL?
AU 58 can receive FBL. Below is a photo I found online. I would guess ANACS and ICG would give the designation just like NGC. PCGS will not: "PCGS...
You are looking at the crossover section while the original poster appears to have sent these coins in raw. Raw coins will automatically be put in...
@Dimedude2 what was the dealer offer for it in the cracked slab vs your asking price? I see MS 62 (PCGS and NGC) selling for $182.50-$250 on eBay...
It is one of the more interesting finger prints I've seen on a coin.

MS 66 ....I was between 65 and 66; the fields are clean and it seems to have the needed luster to go above gem. There are a few hits that could...
Some of the early San Francisco Morgans are very well struck. The Peace Dollars are decent but not quite up to those early Morgans. The 1921 can...
I saw a slight increase for these in MS 63 and higher slabs (but then pretty much all generic MS 63 and above graded Morgans went up with the...
It’s later than that, likely early 1990s. These are a later generation (ANA was the first run of slabs, which was 1989-1990).

The photo is a bit hard to interpret. From what I see, the surfaces look somewhat unnatural-could be cleaned or altered in another way, but maybe...
Separate names with a comma.
