<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2805012, member: 1765"]Based on the pictures, I don't see the 81-O grading 65. That's a big jump in price from 64 and the coin needs to be all there for a 65. The nick on the rim would prevent that grade, but the surfaces also look a bit wonky. I just got done (like minutes ago) shooting 31 1881-O Morgans, one of which was a 65, and I don't see the OP coin as being close.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 84-O has a funny looking rim at 6:00 on the obverse, but it should grade.
