[QUOTE="silvereagle82, post: 29436, member: 1700"]I need some help. I have attached a photo for all to see, but I just got the camera yesterday and I haven't got the lighting right and I need a tripod.(Not Attached file is too large and I haven't fifured out how to shrink) I paid $27 for a 1904-O Morgan at a pawn shop which has a nice coin collection. It was raw and the flip noted MS-63. As I bought a few coins, when I got home and really looked at them under the lighting I'm accustomed to, I think this coin is more than likely a MS-61, a 62 at best. I'm no expert grader but I've learned a lot the short time I've been at this site. The appearance of the coin looks ok it but appears to have been dipped because the lustre is not very good. The coin has a cartwheel effect but not like my other MS-63/64s. The cameo has frosting around the edges, but the field is not frosted. Also the cameo has a small amount of rainbow colored toning on the face which can't be seen without a 5x magnifier and holding the coin a certain angle. My question is should I bring the coin back ( I'm a hour away from the shop) or is the $27 a fair price for a 61/62.[/QUOTE]
