[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 4433271, member: 17557"]The color really doesn't sit right with me. Perhaps whizzed, dipped, and retoned? Had I not known the story behind your father's collection over the years, I'd be tempted to even say the coin is counterfeit. At the very least, it's been altered at one point and time, and perhaps stored incorrectly. At any rate, I'll assume it's genuine.

The thread in my signature line may help you in grading Morgans in the future, though I do like using Photograde as well. I'll let someone more eloquent and knowledgeable than me explain how to bridge that gap between AU to MS.[/QUOTE]
