<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 8343594, member: 37839"]Ok, this may surprise some folks. Coins like this are hard to grade. The pictures are often less good than the actual coin appears, as die polish striations jump out at the camera. Once one disregards the die polish lines, look at the level of surface preservation, strike, luster, and overall eye appeal. If one looks at that, and disregards the die polish lines, it is extremely clean. The luster is also way off the charts, as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the PL status, it is fairly obviously PL. it does not have the super strong cameo effect, as the fields have this silky look in hand. A lot of high grade PL coins tend to be that way. It is also a function of lighting and photography. The mark on the reverse is on the slab, on the inside top of the plastic. It will probably get reholdered for that reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the highest PL Morgan that I currently own. I got it at mid 66 prices in an auction about 17 months ago.
