<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1490763, member: 112&quot;]A couple of things you might want to be aware of Kyle, if you are not already. First of all that scratch across the cheek is almost bad enough (not quite but almost) to keep the coin from grading at all. Secondly, the &#039;81-S is the Morgan that is most commonly found will a good strike, great luster, and in the best condition. For that reason the &#039;81-S is not graded in the same way that other Morgans are graded. In order to be worthy of the grade an &#039;81-S has to be in better condition than other coins to be worthy of the same grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, if an &#039;81-S and another Morgan are both in similar condition the other Morgan will be 1 grade higher than the &#039;81-S. If the other Morgan grades a 64, the &#039;81-S will grade a 63. If the other grades a 63, the &#039;81-S will grade a 62. If the other grades a 65, the &#039;81-S will grade a 64. And so on.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, with the scratch, the hairlines, other contact marks, yeah other Morgans would grade a 63. But since yours is an &#039;81-S, it should be graded a 62.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
