GTG: 1885 S Morgan

Straight grade by NGC. A little harder date. Stunning cartwheels. A couple of pics with some slight tilts.

VAM5a for those interested (nothing really special)

62PL nice one it sure has booming luster.

 

Nice luster and the cheek looks relatively clean; there are marks in the fields...given that it is a better date, I'm going more conservative at MS 63

 

63PL

 

MS-64

 

MS 63. Great luster. Pretty clean fields. Very attractive coin. PL reverse, but obverse not PL. A great difficult date coin.

 

MS63. If it didn't get PL, (I'm thinking probably not), it's worth a premium.

 

63PL, was wavering on the PL, but decided NGC might have been feeling generous...

 

Not really i wouldn't say a few hundred bucks or less extra is a premium if its 63 and PL. Once they get into gem and above your better off going to the moon.

 

MS-63 and PL ! Thanks .

 

The case is extremely scratched , I will say MS-63 as well

 

MS-62.

 

MS 62 PL

 

MS63 obv is pl

 

62PL

 

I’m at MS-64.

 

Look carefully at the striations, and fields that tend to magnify imperfections. It is typical for this coin.

 

It is shockingly close to prooflike fields. I have several Morgans graded PL that are not as reflective. And I have other Morgans that are graded MS62 that look like they have been through a blender. But she’s a beauty:

 

It had a chance to pass,I was on the low side of PL but decided they were possibly generous

 

It is teetering right on the edge of PL. as I said, the reverse is PL, and the obverse borderline. There are die polish striations all over the place, which usually telegraph PL. On a given day it could have come back PL. I think NGC is a tiny bit low at 62—they have actually been tougher on Morgans than PCGS as of recent. I would have gone 63, and flipped a coin as to PL—a very attractive coin for the grade, for sure.
