Message:: [QUOTE="Hobo, post: 533437, member: 11521"]I don't collect Morgans but I bought this one last week. Long story short: When I was in Georgia over the holidays I did a little job for a friend of a friend. She insisted on paying me for my one hour of time but I refused. Later she mailed me the money. Instead of sending it back to her I decided to spend her money on a nice coin and mail it to her. Who knows, it may just lead to a new coin collector.  I decided on a nice common date Morgan because they are old, big and flashy. My local coin dealer had this one and the price was within my budget (or should I say her budget). So I bought it.  As usual, the coin looks better in hand. Maybe I need to work on my lighting a bit more. This coin has great cartwheel but that doesn't show in the photos. I diffused the lighting (60-watt GE Reveal bulbs at 12:00 and 6:00). That brought out the frosted devices but subdued the luster.  Anyway, what are your thoughts on this coin? It is in an NGC holder. I don't want to turn this into another "Guess the grade" thread but your comments on how you would grade it are welcome.[/QUOTE]
