<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1660227, member: 37839"]Okay, no point in keeping this going. Folks all get the point--it is AU, but did not start life that way according to ICG. When I bought the coin about 7 years ago, I had just sold my complete set of Morgans and Peace Dollars. I was feeling left out, and bought a few good dates--this was un an ICG holder as a MS 61. I, like the rest of you, thought it was a solid AU, due to the rub spots and luster breaks, but a nice coin. I managed to purchase it for Mid AU prices back then, and decided to crack it out, as I was not planning to sell it. Of course, it did not cross as MS---it is now in an AU 55 PCGS holder. It shows the variance of grading, and once again, most of the posters here made a very good judgement that it was AU. Doug is definitely right on this one--if a TPG calls it MS, it isn't necessarily MS if your eye tells you otherwise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
