    Is the twist that there are three Morgans to grade? No.
    Is the twist something in this line***? No.
    Is there really a twist? I don't know or do I? :eek: :p :)

    Please guess:

    Feel free to also comment on which one you all think deserves the highest grade.

    My guess is that if the obverse of 2 was with the reverse of 3, I would really like that best.

    We all have different tastes, but my guess is that the reverse of #2 would be chosen by most as the best. That one has another photo:

    True, but I like it more subtle in this case. That one ^^ is a monster tone, yet I am not in love with the way the colors lay down.

    Even though the toning is not my preference, I think 2 got a bump up in grade for it and it would not surprise me to see it in a 65* or 66-66* slab. And overall, it probably does deserve the highest grade of the three. Both 1 and 2 have obverses that may hold them back.

    +1

    The twist is that the coin with the most focal distraction is graded the highest.
    Sometimes the contact is less visible to the eye, but really pops out in a photo.
