<p>[QUOTE="longshot, post: 7459257, member: 76266"]I'm not a teacher, but some basics....the centers on the Morgan dollar have high relief areas on both sides. Strike weakness often shows up here on one or both sides, (as it took a lot of metal to fill here), though sometimes it shows up elsewhere. This coin has a strong strike, note the crisp breast feathers and the hair above the ear.</p><p>Liberty's cheek is important to the grade. Unmarred "clean cheeks" are coveted, and due to being stored in bags, and shuffled around on occasion, most Morgans picked up "bag marks". There doesn't appear to be anything too heavy on the op coin, mostly just some luster grazes.</p><p>The coin appears to have nice luster, kind of satiny, and is attractive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
