[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 7474479, member: 37839"]Everybody did very well. See, this kind of format helps people learn from each other’s knowledge. As I said, I do not own the coin. I have never seen it. I bought it as a present for my daughter-in-law, for her birthday. She started to collect coins 4 years ago. I thought it was a nice introduction to MS Morgans using the criteria we have all used. Surface preservation: a solid MS coin. no major distractions. The cheek has some toning spots, covering a few minor bagmarks in the cheek area. There is a minor contact scuff in the left side obverse fields, but it is superficial. Luster: solid and blooming. Very frosty, and kind of jumps out. strike: above average. Typical for a CC mint coin. eye appeal: an attractive coin, with lots of cameo. Reverse stronger than the obverse, but definitely strong in that department. distractions: none significant assets: strong cameo/ contrast appears PL, or possibly DMPL. I would have graded it MS 65 PL. Here is how PCGS went for the ride: [ATTACH=full]1294031[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
