Grade opinions on 1893 Morgandollar?

The easiest place would be on the TP dispenser in the gas station restroom when it's empty.

I would net grade it EF40 based on the hard contact marks in the prime focal areas.

 

With the understanding that evaluation of surfaces becomes very difficult from even the best of digital imagery once a fair amount of circulation is present, I'm seeing a VF35 level of technical detail.

 

Just to be clear, I was making fun of the actual legitimate date appearance for this coin, after checking images of slabbed examples.

I really don't know enough to identify non-obvious fakes anyhow, and if nobody else on the thread thinks yours looks fishy, I certainly don't.

Poor Liberty looks like a rabid weasel attacker her. I personally don't like all of the contact marks on the face so I probably wouldn't buy this coin. But luckily you're not selling it to me. Anyway, given all of the trickiness of determining condition from photographs, I tend to agree more with the VF35 camp. Seeing it in person may change my opinion completely.

 

Anna looks like she has been on a 3 day bender...monkey fist is worn...rev looks dipped and/or cleaned...au50

 

Yes, if it is plastic or metal the reflection of light off its surface is "luster" - just NOT MINT LUSTER. remember that thread?

 

Ever see a trade dollar

 

AU53 - No way it is VF, there alot of detail here!

But - I wonder if it has been dipped one to many times.

 

Since there appears to be disparity of opinion regarding grade, let's look at a slabbed VF35 for comparison.





I would believe the OP's coin in XF40, but that's about it.
