[QUOTE="900fine, post: 342526, member: 6036"]This coin has a lot of positives. Morgans are always popular, and this coin shows why. Check out the hair detail above Liberty's ear ! Look at the eagle's breast feathers - very nice. All indicative of a strong strike. Tons of luster - loaded with cartwheel. Yes, the photo suggests some bagginess. The hits are in all the worst places - Libbie's cheeks, neck, and in front of her face. However, my Morgan photos always show more bagginess than the coin in hand. Giving allowance for that, I'll say this one has a great shot at MS-63. NGC is less expensive than PCGS; "economy" class grading is [B]$16 / coin[/B], but requires [B]5 coin minimum[/B]. Take a look at auction results to determine the difference 'twixt market price for NGC vs. PCGS. They seem very comparable to me; MS63 runs [B]$475 - $500 on teletrade for both NGC and PCGS[/B]. Proof Like commands significant premium - closer to $800. IMO, it's well worth submitting to top TPG. Nice coin ! Good luck.[/QUOTE]
