    Mike,
    You always come up with nice looking Morgans, I especially like the reverse eagle's head, leg, and breast feathers look above average. Obverse fields look clean with few contact marks and has overall nice eye appeal has some nice luster also my grade ms-62/63.

    Thanks for the LIBERAL grade guess, but I would say it's more in the AU range. If you notice I took the picture at the classic 'Ebay Angle' used by some sellers of coins. It looks different when in hand.

    Thanks for the look

    Mike,
    No I did not notice, and that is why I never have, or every will buy a coin for sale on e-bay just dose not seem right to deliberately deceive someone. I would much rather have the coin in hand befor I purchase it or know the person I am dealing with.:)

    Ah ! The old lighting technique. Looks like an MS66 lighting job and an AU58 Lady Morgan.

    OH darn, I really had wished to be the first one to congratulate you. That is such a splended coin and my favorite of the entire series.

    Way to go on a splendid coin.

    For a grade I'd say XF45 possibly AU.

    I would grade it a 55-58. You can see the breast feathers pretty clearly, if I'm not mistaken.
