Happy hump day, new Morgan toner from the LCS. See if you can guess the grade. I loved the coin, I think it's my most neon toned Morgan I own. Glad to have added it today! Hope you all enjoy and have a great day.
Your average MS63 Morgan has more hits and Liberty's face/cheek as a focal area is pretty much clean. Considering the nice obv toning and the luster, that's a 64 with a shot at 64+/65 in my book. Sadly the pics seem to hide the luster and shine of the coin.
Personally, I think it got a 1 pt bump for color, which looks a lot cooler in your new photo. I like it, I like it a lot!!!! Edit: looks like you got it at a fair price too! Please remove that sticker, that's one of my biggest OCD pet peeves on the planet!
Thanks again everybody. I considered it a steal for $55. I removed the sticker to find a $70 sticker under that. I say I did well.
No Chris, I didn't. I would have said 65 if the gouges weren't there. And I got it right, it's a 64 PS: I was born after the "gradeflation era" and don't know what a true 64 looks like LOL
Ouch, those gouges on the cheek are quite severe. I'd grade the obverse no higher than 62. The reverse looks nice, and semi-prooflike, probably a 64. The crescent toning is attractive, but the splotchiness of the rest of the obverse is negative. I would call this a 63, personally. Glad you are happy with it!
