    Ok, here's a fun exercise. I am posting 4 different 1921 Morgan Dollars for you to guess the grades on. The twist is, there are only two grades to choose from, MS-65 and MS-66. So tell me which Morgans are graded MS-66 and which are graded MS-65. Here's your final clue: There are at least 1 graded MS-65 and at least 1 graded MS-66.

    I have a real love-hate relationship with '21 Morgans. I love collecting them and I hate grading them.

    Im going with this:
    1=66
    2=66
    3=66
    4=65

    But I wouldnt be surprised if 1 was 65 and 4 was 66.

    If I was grading them without your hints, I would say

    MS-65
    MS-65
    MS-64
    MS-64

    But since your hints change the game a bit, I will say

    MS-65 (only marginally better than the last two, but not as nice as #2)
    MS-66 (fewest marks and the best luster of the four by far)
    MS-65
    MS-65

    #1 - 65
    #2 - 66
    #3 - 65
    #4 - 65

    I really like #4. Focal marks aside it is my favorite of the group and I bet it looks great in hand.

    ...Cool twist on GTG.

    Agree with the majority here - #2 has the least blemishes on lady liberty's face, which is the prime focal area for most coins - ugly face = ugly coin, regardless of grade :eek:
