Grades on this morgan?

I'm not sure if this one will go au-58, or ms-63 or so. Any thoughts?

This is one of those hard ones for me:headbang: Its hard to tell if its wear or weak strike. However since I've seen other 1880 Morgans with better definition above the ear and several points in the hair , I'll say AU-58.

 

It is an o-mint mark, so I think it is a respectable strike.

 

The back looks MS, however the front... So I'd have to go AU-58.

This one needs to be in-hand to be sure, but I don't see much evidence of uneven luster on the cheek, or the eagle's head feathers or wingtips, that'd convince me it wasn't MS. 63-ish, maybe better in-hand.

 

I think one has been dipped in the past. A fairly good strike . Not MS but AU58.

 

I would agree it is likely a weak strike common in O mintmarks. However, it looks like there has been the potential of having been dipped. I would say AU-58 unless I see it in hand.

 

I haven't got the coin in hand yet, but the person I bought it from assures me the luster is nice (and I trust them)
