62 (And that's being generous).

 

WOW I hope you guys are at work the day I send MY Morgan's in to have them graded! Woah
I mean, how can a coin look so bad with having no sign of being in circulation at all.
There is no wear in her hair in the obvious spots. The cotton leaves and flowers show no signs. Even on the Reverse, the Eagles breast is pristine as ever and the finer feathers on the Eagle's neck, head and even between his legs look just like it would have the day it came out of the mint.
But what the hell kind of toning is that? It looks like it stayed away from her head. Like there is an outline encompassing the edges of her hair and face. It is darker on the Reverse but both sides look like an old house that has the paint chipping off.
I'm sorry but it's not an appealing coin. It could have problems , but if it was a visually appealing coin I'd give it an ms64, but with all the marks on her face and not even having 1 sq inch clear in the field I couldnt go any higher than AU58.
Here are just 3 of mine and I'd feel SO good about sending any one of these in.

 

MEDIOCRE photography.

There is no toning on the obverse except around the edge. See image below. Nasty white spots, but very little toning.

It's your money lol

Here's some crummy photos showing the obverse. I don't have anything else on my phone so this will do for now.


Definitely not a perfect coin. But it has a little potential

 

Why would you send any of those to be graded? Surely their value doesn't merit encapsulation.

 

WOW LuxUnit,,,, I want to thank you for opening my eyes. I honestly wasn't trying to harsh your buzzzz. I apologize for making it seem like I had it out for you and your coin. I hope it didn't leave you hating me, because you have taught me a valuable lesson about photography AND coins.
Man, if you hadn't uploaded those other 2 pics, I might have never realized how much difference it would or could make, by getting decent lighting , more favorable photography and producing a much higher quality specimen.
Sure unscrupulous people will always use those certain tools to hide flaws or make it look like a coin that it is not. But yes sir, you definitely have a winner there. If you take away all of the negative remarks, I think you will see an actual favorable response.
It really doesn't show any sign of circulation. All the stars are sharp, every hair is in place and the feathers, fine or large, are just as neat and clean as the day they left the Mint, I'm sure.
So I am humbly changing my grade to 64 w/o prejudice on my part.
I owe you a beer as well.
Foo out egg on my face for sure

 

Lol no problem man. Thanks for apologizing. I'm glad my pictures could clear it up for you!
