    Picked this up off ebay. Given that there has been some discussion over frosty Morgans, I thought it would be a good idea try and grade this one.

    Please grade this and guess the grade PCGS gave it. I will post the PCGS grade after a few people have had a chance to guess.

    Very pretty. Is that natural color? I'd say MS-66.

    IMHO, AU. It shows slight wear on the high points.

    I would say MS-64. I would like to see this in hand though.

    I'll go with a 65.

    Funky color going on on that coin, or maybe just the lighting.

    MS-63 is my guess. Not very strong of a strike. I would welcome the coin for my collection though.

    Icy frosting with a light rub. I'll bet on an MS65.

    It looks really nice to me, the high points appear defined and the field looks pretty clean. I'd guess MS-65 and maybe even MS-66.

    no visable wear on that coin (in this photo). ms66 due to clean cheek and luster up the yingyang

    Must admit I am kind of curious to see just what PCGS did grade it. The coin has a lot of frost breaks but otherwise is very clean, this is one of those that could go either way in a grader's opinion - high or low. But I think it has too many frost breaks for high so I'll pick the middle and say 64.

    My guess is 62.

    Really, really nice. If it wasn't graded in the last 6 months, it's MS66.

    MS65 IMHO. Nice frosty Morgan!

    At least MS 65, and maybe higher if the luster is all there (tough to tell from scan/photo). Thanks for sharing...Mike

    Well, alot of good guesses. Some of you got it right on. I don't yet have the coin in hand and the pics were from the seller's ebay listing, but he is a very reputable seller (c-usa), so I'm pretty excited. I'm thinking I may send it back in for a regrade someday, but for now, I'm pretty happy.

    Thanks everyone for the guesses!
