<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2742987, member: 37839"]Morgan dollars are judged more harshly, for several reasons. 1. They are large-- lots of room on a coin that size to show imperfections. 2. Handling- since so many MS Morgans are baggy, but still show strong luster, any coin displaying luster breaks is automatically graded lower. 3. There are lots of weak Morgan strikes. 4. Morgans are fairly common in most dates. I have owned many high grade 1891o coins that were good strikes, and were dripping with tons of luster. Nothing wrong with a nice AU coin-- many high grade AU coins look nicer than baggy MS Morgans. That Seated Dollar you pictured above is insanely overgraded. No way it is worth AU 58 money. First of all, the scratches on the reverse would have made that coin an AU details coin, IMHO. Second of all, it just isn't an eye appeal coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
