<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 416047, member: 15309"]You can't market grade a Morgan from MS66 to MS68 with this toning. Personally, I don't think this toning is even worthy of a star much less a bump up in grade. That reason just isn't going to do it. I really don't know what coin you guys are looking at. There is not a single mark visible to the naked eye in the focal areas of this coin. There are some light luster grazes, but no bag marks. The luster can't be fully appreciated with a photo, but it is outstanding and only serves to compliment the nice toning and create fantastic eye appeal. As for the strike, I have seen better, but this is certainly sharp and acceptable for the grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is not and never will be an MS66. Not 5 years ago, not now with CAC, not ever. BTW, this coin was encapsulated at about the same time as the Battle Creek Hoard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
