MS-65PL

 

I'm a little torn on this one; my first glance made me think something was off (altered surfaces or slight wipe on the chin) but I don't think that is the case. Overall the fields and cheek are clean and the photo suggests enough mirrors (contrast) to make PL
.....final answer MS 65 PL

 

Tough issue to find a respectable MS65PL. Not nearly as common as previous years S mints. Hoping it made the grade (PL)...

 

MS-64

 

MS-65 PL to me
Nice coin

 

This coin has a wonderful strike and appears to be very clean. Normally high contrast Morgan's tend to look beat up in photos even when they are not and this one does not look that way which makes me think it's especially gem. There is a mark on the wing on the reverse at about 2 o'clock but I can't tell what it is. It might even be on the slab.

I don't think there is enough contrast for DMPL (but that can be REALLY hard to tell in photos) so I'm gonna go PL.

I think this coin is a 65/66 slider. I know these are much rarer beginning in MS66. It's also clearly a NGC slab and I don't think I've ever seen an NGC slab with a "+" grade...so I'm going to shy away from that although I do believe it is worthy of a 65+.

So, with that in mind I'm going to say MS65PL.

 

MS 65 PL, nice mirrors, maybe just the pic but looks weak in the Adam's apple area?

DMPL wouldn't surprise me.

 

Gonna be some surprises here.

 

Interesting...makes me think it didn't quite make PL. But again, super hard to discern in the photos. Unless that mark on the wing is actually a oddly toned ding which they downgraded an otherwise stunning coin for.

 

MS 65 +

 

Better lighting on the obverse:

 

I see it PL on late dies pretty much given the old work-over. A technical gem. I gave it 65PL.

 

66 PL. A lot of lines, I'm guessing from die polishing, so all good there. I'm not sure what's going on with the wing though.

 

I went with MS62 PL. Mostly based on all the lines and marks.

 

66PL

 

65PL?

 

I really can't see any flaws, so went with 67. Maybe PL, but I really don't understand the criteria for that so didn't add it to my vote. The fields are very reflective but there seems to be some light frost too, so I don't know.

 

Well, I am going high. With the very pronounced die polishing lines I think it got the PL. Also the face is virtually free of blemishes.
MS67 PL

 

Am I the only one to just go with a plain 68?real beauty.
