[QUOTE="bernard55, post: 8121648, member: 114733"]I tend to agree with [USER=66]@Conder101[/USER] that you can't easily grade MS coins from images. my guess on the Morgan is between MS 62 and MS 63 [LIST] [*]Strike = OK [*]Luster = difficult to tell because the light doesn't seem diffused. Seems the light is shining directly onto the coin, which creates more bright reflections and over-exposure [*]Surface Preservation = low [*]Eye appeal = again, hard to tell with this picture but guess would say it's just OK. [/LIST] cleaning = possibly quick dipped but might pass TPC as not cleaned. again, agree with [USER=66]@Conder101[/USER] here that on MS coins it's a guess without a set of really good pictures taken at multiple angles and raw. Now, what about this one (PCGS MS67 is in white below the one that I believe is cleaned but have not confirmed): [ATTACH=full]1414094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1414095[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
