[QUOTE="JPeace$, post: 1854962, member: 42727"]When the coins were minted, they never went in a bank roll. They were stored in canvas bags. IMO, any Morgans being sold in a paper roll were not put there by the mint or a bank. Anyway, without better pictures, hard to judge the coin. [LIST] [*]It's real [*]Looks to have nice luster [*]Also appears there is something on the obverse starting with the lower hair curls and continuing into the right field. [*]On the lower cheek/jaw, it has that annoying mark from rubbing against other coins. I personally hate that mark, but have seen it on many Morgans. Even on '65's and some '66's. [*]If it didn't have that mysterious discoloration (could be photo issues), I'd say that's a MS63 easy and possible a 64. [/LIST] I will say this Doug, after countless advice to stay away from raw coins, you just can't help yourself. My advice, buy all the raw, ungraded coins you can. Disregard all the advice you've been given. It's only money.[/QUOTE]
