<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2567974, member: 78244"]It is really interesting to see how grades get harsher and more-critical as a grading thread goes on. It is almost a contest to see who can assign the harshest grade to the OP coin. It almost seems like any coin below perfection (or maybe a misinterpretation of the photos) warrants a coin to be considered junk. It is a bit annoying sometimes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see a LOT of luster, so EF is out of the question. That leaves AU/MS. I see a lot of friction, so AU. The color looks off (dipped) and the texture seems weird (cleaned?), but I have seen the same texture and color on original AU Morgan Dollars with the same lighting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I need better pictures that show the true look of the coin in normal lighting. I will not narrow down the grade or comment further on surface originality until that happens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
