1886 Morgan. Grade and worth?

I got this from my great uncle. It looks to be in really good shape. What’s everyone’s thoughts on it and grade and worth? Is it worth getting graded?

Pretty sure it's not worth grading. The scratches on the reverse would keep it from getting a very high grade, and might keep it from grading at all. The obverse looks like it might have been polished, although it's a little hard to tell from this single photo. (I'm looking at the apparent halos around the hair and stars at the base of Liberty's neck.)

Nice coin. I wouldn't spend the money to get it graded I would use that for picking up another nice Morgan!

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood @Josh papineau !

I was thinking the same thing. I see no evidence of luster. I also would like to see the obverse photo taken from directly overhead. ~ Chris

 

Not worth grading. The fees would cost more than its value. I would be in a different 2 x 2 as the one it's in seems to have a tear. It has signs of wear and scratches so best to leave ungraded.

Welcome to CT.

 

$25 - $30 to buy on e-bay, probably be lucky to get $20 for selling it, keep it.

 

Thanks everyone for your opinions.
