If the luster is there and it is toning (and not hazing), then I could see at least a 63 grade.
And then offer it as a PQ+ "undergraded" gem.
Cool token! It's for a pirate festival. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasparilla_Pirate_Festival
One more for now (this one entered the box of 20 in version 2.0). [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It looks nice overall but the two hits in the fields might bring it down. I'm also seeing some haze in the fields (or is it just the photo)?...
I think it's technically fair as a 63 but with market grading and toning bumps, I wouldn't be surprised to see it in a 64+ holder (I don't think...
I like Morgans regardless if the toning is on the obverse or reverse, but the market favors the obverse. One can find nice color among all the...
Like @Lehigh96 mentioned it's all nickels. Morgans (which they can be too lenient on) are the easiest to find with stars. Nickels and world coins...
Pretty much...I'd have to see full scale rainbows before being comfortable guessing a nickel has a star.
I wanted to add that someone looking for just one nice Morgan (say for a box of 20) or a type set, should keep all grades between MS 63 and MS 66...
And one more that did make my box of 20: [IMG]
Here is another 63 where the focus is on the color (this one just missed my box of 20): [IMG] [IMG]
MS 67 (not FS; no star) ....this one is very attractive and clean ....steps not there...and no star since NGC doesn't tend to give many for nickels
66....clean overall (might even have a case for 67)....I did vote 5FS because I thought they might give it even with the nick through the steps...
I was torn between 64 and 65 but bumped to a 65 based on luster/clean fields....that hit in the middle of the cheek could prevent the 65 and keep...
PF 66 Star (one-sided cameo)
One of my nicer looking 63s is the following: [IMG] [IMG]
MS 63 tends to be a grade where Morgans can be baggy and covered with marks. You can definitely find nicer than average examples with a little...
MS 63 ....marks in the fields look to be consistent with 63s
MS 64 ....this one looks to be a point weaker than the other two
