<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 7633080, member: 37839"]It is a beautiful coin, in terms of eye appeal. However the contact marks, plus the extreme toughness in grading that date brings it down to 63 or 63+, stretching it. I agree that as an 1881s, it would not grade PL. For a full set of Morgans, I would jump on a certified MS 65, with cleaner fields. TPGs kill those early S mint coins, if they see scuffs in the fields, and not a ton of frost. They are cheap enough, especially if you go NGC hunting, as opposed to PCGS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
