Grade the Morgan

I seriously disagree with this grade so I want to see if I'm losing my mind or not. How would you grade this

MS-63. That toning looks like it must be lovely in hand.

 

i bet ngc gave her a ms65,
i think its more of a ms64.
lovely coin however!

Ms 62

 

I can confirm, you are losing your mind -- 65PL.

Just think, Ruben, how valuable it would when making a decision like this if you had the opinion of a third party whose grading eye you trusted. :hail:

 

Is that your real grade?

 

I'll guess 64. The reverse looks PL.

 

MS 64, with a PL reverse, but since there is no designation for that just plain ole MS 64. Nice coin, with attractive toning! THe reverse looks PL to me, but not the obverse--that would not meet current reflectivity standards IMHO.

 

Ms 64*+

 

Agreed. It is the most high level of 64, verging on 65. I would NOT be shocked to see it in a 65 slab at all. Perhaps a star designation?

OFFICIAL NGC GRADE: MS 64*

 

I was trying to predict what NGC graded the coin. My "real grade" is immaterial to this discussion as we all have our own standards...Mike

p.s. I could see NGC not giving it the PL label as they tend to shy away from toned coins when judging PL vs non-PL.

 

MS65PL

Nice coin! :thumb:

EDIT: Just for the record, this is the grade I believe NGC has assigned.

 

I would have gone MS63, those hits on her face are pretty distracting, not even close to a 65...

 

That is why I gave it a 64, instead of a 65. The fields are very clean and free of marks.

 

The caboose is nearly perfect... That and the strike is my interest in the coin.

 

OK - so according to NCG graded this as a MS65 PL. I look at the bag marks on the face and think that it is a MS63 on the Obverse and MS66+ on the reverse. It should grade according to the weakest side, so I look at it as a very premium 63 PL. There are a few1898 MS PLs on Heritages archives. Non-PLs are crusing in at about $180.00

PL's are much wider

This coin is selling for $450

Is it a decent price or not? Deal or no deal?

 

id do it if i had the money reuben. i really like this coin and i would have graded it as the pl but im not very familiar with morgans as i dont own any.

 

65 PL? That's crazy. I guess they gave a couple of points for eye appeal.

 

It looks like the NGC examples trade lower then that.... I'd say that's a little high for a NGC graded coin... It is nice however.
