MS-62/63 :hammer:

Ribbit :smile

 

I agree with the toad. Why is the date hidden?

 

I believe that sometimes grades are swayed due to the date. Certain mints & dates just had better strikes. I just wanted an opinon that would be totally unbiased.

Thanks-

 

63

 

Im going to agree with AZ its MS 63. Possible PL are those pic taken in Black and White? Why is the date and mint mark blocked out?

Did you block the date and Mintmak? If not It looks photoshopped.

 

No, It doesnt have Pl fields (I wish) & the picture was taken in color with a 50W halogen light .

Please see the above post on why I blocked the date - I will show the coins date in a bit.

Thanks for posting.hya:

 

Date and MM are part of the grading, it looks like an 81-s by the strike.

MS-63 easy

 

I would grade it a 63, and I'm not giving it a bump for being a CC dollar.

 

Ok,, I thought it was a B/W pic, Some time's Black and White pics really wipe of PL feilds.

 

Judging on the picture, I agree with MS63.

However, my Morgans always look worse in photos than in hand. Who knows ? Might pull a 4. Reverse looks nice.

 

I'll retract that since the feathers don't look right for an 81-s.

I guess its a P-mint, so I'll go 1885 ms-63.

 

But then how can we give a correct grade? If the mintmark on this coin is an S then it might grade 63 because it had a nice strike, and that is normal, but if it was an O it would grade much higher because they are known for a weak strike and this would be alot better than normal. You can't give a grade without knowing date/mintmark.

Speedy

 

Guess the grade AND date/mintmark is even more fun.

 

Is there a fingerprint or something on the neck?

 

I want to add to this, I dont care what year or mint mark is on a coin. I grade them as I see them. The only thing I take into consideration is if its a weak strike.

 

There are lots of prints on it.

 

I'll trade you a bunch of "S" mint Morgans for equal grade "O" minted ones.
Using the Oldman (all coins equal) grading system, of course.
