A couple of things to note about your coin: - It's a Morgan Dollar - It's graded by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) - It's graded MS64 (on the Sheldon coin grading scale of 1-70) - It's been given the "+" designation, meaning it has superb eye appeal - It has been given the DMPL designation, meaning "Deep Mirror Proof-like"; further, this means that there is clear reflectivity in the fields of the coin from at least 6 inches away - It has been reviewed by Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC) and has been given a green sticker, meaning that it is a coin that meets their standards of being good for the grade that the third party grading service (i.e. PCGS) has given it It is valued at $525 by PCGS Price Guide, but would likely attract a larger price if sold at auction. If you have additional PCGS coinage, go to PCGS.com, and click on "Verify"; from there enter in the verification code, which is located after the slash on the label (in this case it is 34613998) Here is the page that will come up once you do that: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/34613998 That page will give you additional information about the coin, including its value. Your coin even has PCGS TrueView images associated with it (a service offered for an additional fee at the time of grading). This photo right here is a photo of the same coin that's right in front of you right now:
Very nice! DMPL Morgans are some of my favorite. Although, with this coin, I would disagree with the "+" and "CAC".
Yes. Looking at PCGS's imaging, there are many nicks and marks on her cheek and neck, as well as some scattered in the fields. There are some deeper marks on her lips and nose. I think this is a solid MS-64 and a very attractive coin, but, based on the photographs, I would not give it the plus or bean.
This coin reminds me of when I first signed up to CT, we had some great Morgan guys. I have this Morgan in a correct slab by my rookie standards.
