<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1453319, member: 37839"]Could go as high as a 63, although that cheek did take many hits, as did the area around the eye, and the the letters between E and PL on the Obverse. I'd say 62. Morgans got so many hits due to their size. Also, the mint bags were of different designs--from what I understand, there were as many as 9 different types of storage bags used in Morgan mintage cycles. Some allowed the coins to rattle around a lot more--case in point is that late Philadelphia Morgans have more marks than corresponding S mint examples in the later years. The coin is a must for a slab--does not look like an NGC slab, as there are no coin holder prongs. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> 1899 is one of the 5 lowest mintage dates for later Morgans, and it is a semi-Key. Take good care of it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
