    Impossible to say given your pictures. We need to be able to accurately measure the reflectivity of both the obverse and reverse.

    These pictures might help a little more in getting a grade for the coin.

    K2, It is common courtesy when asking for opinions to be grateful that someone has taken the time to look, consider, and answer. You may disagree with them, but if you do it often, you may have few or no knowledgeable people responding. You are asking for an evaluation from photos and not in hand. So many Morgans are sliders, that can only be told rather AU-58+ or MS-63 is by careful loupe study, not easily done by photos. PL and DMPL have different specific specifications that depend on the graders such as PCGS, NGC, ANACs as to distance of reflection. Again not easily done with photos with no measuring instrument involved.

    opinions are just that~ opinions.

    Is this a duplicate of a thread from the recent past?
    I haven't been on CT in a while (week or two), but I remember making a comment on the pic with the guy handling the coin with bare hands.

    No, this dude made like 5 threads, all in the introductions section, asking for grades on his coins despite his crappy pictures.

    The appropriate course of action would be to report it to the moderators so we can fix it.

    Spare a grade for you? That's not really how it works. You may want someone to tell you a high grade, but dude, they are what they are. Wishing it higher isn't going to make it higher, I'm sorry. It may very well be 64 but as others said 62 is the best they can say with those pictures.

    If that's the best you can do, then that's the best anyone else can do at this time. I'm sorry it's not what you want but that's how it is.

    Based on what I see in these photos, the coin is uncirculated but has quite a few bag marks. As previously said, the photos really aren't good and probably make it impossible to give an accurate grade. Based on what I can see, it appears the coin is an MS61 or 62. As for PL surfaces, I really can't tell in these photos.

    That coin may PL cannot tell from the images. A 64DMPL looks like a very far shot right now.

    If those pics were on ebay and I had to estimate the grade for purpose of bid then I'd probably go AU53, but I could see it making 63, and I could also see it coming to me as a polished chunk of silver scrap. Just to hard to tell from the pics.... all that said, I'll say MS63.

    The result: Ngc ms-62 pl
