GTG 1886 Morgan

So I bought this one because I didn't have an MS example yet! I have been wondering why it got the grade it did.
I hope I can learn something from you Morgan guys on here.
Anacs graded. and two more for the lustre.

The answer is: 64

I'm only guessing. I don't know much about Morgans, but I have a PCGS-graded example, and it looks so similar to this one. The surface condition of the face, especially, which is a big "red area" in Beth Deisher's book, "Making the Grade."

 

I'll go 65 since its in an anacs slab

 

You should be able to show condition and luster in the same photo. Using different lighting for the two isn't the answer.

MS64

I am still learning my DSLR,
Taking those kind of pics is my plan.
Thanks

Welcome to MS Morgan's! I'll say 64 also

 

I'm at 64 too. As mentioned, the cheek is a prime focal point.

 

My read is most of the chatter on the cheek are lustre grazes and therefore MS64.

 

I'm at 64 as well.

 

I have a few raw MS Morgans but, my first slabbed.

 

65

I thank you all for confirming what I thought.
Any and all marks are very minor and has great eye appeal.
I even asked the dealer, he said he thougbt for sure it was atleast a 64.

 

That one got a tough eye grading it.

 

That's a surprise, I thought 64 also

 

Wow. Makes me wonder if there is something we are not seeing in the images.

 

Thats what I have been saying, and I got it in hand.

 

That was way under graded. Guy who graded it must have had a fight with his wife that day. I would have said 64.

 

Terrible under grade.
