[QUOTE="rhoggman, post: 421359, member: 13987"]Well..... I hate to burst so many bubbles here, but this coin looks no where near as nice in hand as it does in the picture. I still think it is every bit of a MS64 Morgan, but the scans really distorted the true nature of the surfaces, especially the fields. The the left of Liberty's head there is IMO unattractive milky toning that is not visible in the scans. The slight amber toning on the reverse is also "not really there" in the way it appears in the scans. The weak strike on the obverse is still noticeable, but on the reverse where the eagle's breast looks very weak was actually an illusion of the scan. All of the feathers on the breast of the eagle are present, and defined. When I fist saw the coin in hand I actually wondered weather it was the same coin, but after tilting it in the light I was able to find the faint mark to the left of Liberty's eye. I am actually starting to think that DLRC's scans can be less than desirable when searching for a coin. I have had coins come in from them all across the board. Some looked identical in hand, while others were just way off. I have never been unhappy with what I received, but I am becoming more leery......[/QUOTE]
