    Looks like it was wiped or something... 61/62 if it grades clean.

    I'd guess ms-60-62 it looks like it has alot of bag marks on the cheek.

    I'd say ANACS will probably slab it. NGC/PCGS, probably not.

    I am new and still learning how to grade. The wipe marks are the lines on the field continuing on to the cheek.
    With all the bag marks on the field, I would guess MS 61.

    ANACs 6th Edition grade AU-58 , all those tiny marks look like circulation hits not bag marks , tpg grade MS -62 . Probably dipped , but I don't have it in hand to tell , still the luster is there so they did it right .

    Redfield I'd guess

    but IF they did grade it 62/63 IMO

    I'll say MS63 on this one. No major abrasions to speak of. Luster is average. Doesn't looked cleaned to me :thumb:.

    Also, is this Redfield coin? The rough, red backround is a similar color to the color of the holders Paramount issued with coins from his hoard...

    Make sure it is stated on the holder that the coin is from the "Redfield Collection"... Soon after holdering Redfield's coins and auctioning 'em off, the Paramount company decided to holder generic Morgan and Peace Dollars in a not-so-clever attempt to make money. I recall that the Paramount company issued both red and black non-Redfield holders... The authentic Redfield coins reside only in red holders.

    Alright, just make sure you do notpay a premium for the coin's holder... I can't stress this enough! Almost everyday I see "Paramount" (Non-Redfield) coins on eBay where the auctions realize having commanded hefty premiums over the coin's trending market value. :rollling:

    PS- Is that Morgan Dollar set as your avatar a coin in your personal collection? She sure is a looker! :thumb: That's one toned Morgan I can truly say I find attractive... And I'm a picky-pickle when it comes to toned Morgan Dollars.

    Hmm - guess I'm not seeing what you are guys are seeing. If the luster is intact I'd expect the coin to grade 63, maybe even 64 on a good day.
