Interesting coin. Impossible (for me) to photograph as the colors change from every small tilt. Not vibrant, colorful toning…. Just something different that caught my eye and wanted:
MS 65 ....trueview looks even cleaner and higher grade but they can hide some marks; there might be PL qualities to the coin as well (at least the Trueview gives me that impression)
MS-64. I have seen Morgan dollars with super smooth surfaces, but subdued luster, get that grade. Luster means a lot to many TPG graders. It can trump marks, more than it should in my opinion.
MS 64. Nice coin, but just short of gem status. Color is attractive, but TrueView looks very little like the coin in hand pictures.
It is really unusual Morgan to me. Super smooth, but absolutely zero cartwheel. Then you tilt in the light and the fields are completely mirrored. On the reverse, one angle has pretty unattractive toning….. but from the opposite angle it all disappears like a hologram. At least she provides something different:
Reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld "Two Face" where Jerry is dating the woman who can look hideous under certain lighting and then gorgeous under different lighting. On a side note, look how young Bryan Cranston looks...
Agreed. The impaired luster is what cost it a gem grade. It isn’t the toning that is hurting the luster-it is just a low luster uncirculated Morgan. Those are hard to grade, when they have clean surfaces, but are low luster MS coins.
