[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 438677, member: 4381"][IMG]http://www.mrbrklyn.com/resources/anotated_morgan1.jpg[/IMG] OK - just to review this. Look at these 6 spots on your coin 1- the cheek is completely clean, but not only that but the field in front of it of it is just clean and smooth with great luster. The strike of the eye is just so delicate. She flirts with me. This, IMO, is rare. 2- The hair has strings and separations, a key element to any higher grade Morgan, especially an O. 3 - All the fruit and leaves in the cap are crisp, scratchless and clean 4 - The left wing might have fewer cross lines in it but every feather and element is present and clean, 5- The right side is even crisper! 6- The Breast doesn't have the deep detail in this picture. I'm willing to bet, however, that if I'm holding it in my hand, that I could see almost complete detail. A lot of coins go down on this breast, and the higher 60 MS's need nearly perfect strikes. But this just doesn't happen with coins from the New Orleans mint. Furthermore, I see no marks on the breast. We can use a close up of that sections but its a very nice coin. In addition, there is no rim dents and no scratches in the fields. This coin is nice. MS 66. Ruben[/QUOTE]
