    Here are the Littleton Morgans I recently bought in the velvet boxes labeled as "uncirculated/MS+", you be the judge in this case. They have a lot more luster then my images show.
    Any of these look anything better then MS60?

    Those coins are nice, they would be alot nicer if it weren't for the toning. I would take them out of the holders and summit them for grading, not all plastic holders are safe these days. The coins have likely toned in the holders they came in, then they'll finally turn into corrosion. Like someone else said on the other thread. NGC is a nice choice for grading Morgans, though PCGS is more consistent. But for those toned coins, I would stick to NGC.

    I have removed them and put them in my album. Hopefully they will not conitnue to deterioate. I'm not so sure these are worth sending in for grading though. Thats why I posted them, to see if any are better than MS60.

    They all look better than 60 to me. Some slight album toning, but a nice group of Morgans.

    The '86 is the nicest coin if the lot, prob a 65. But unless it is a special VAM even that is not worth having it graded.

    edit - forgot to add something, I think that '83-O has environmental damage

    I have to give Littleton a lot of credit. A lot of dealers would have dipped those coins.
    Nice group of coins, by the way!

    I am no so sure they were toned when littleton put them in the cases. I bought these from a local coin shop. Who knows how long ago these were put togethor by Littleton, could have been many many years ago.

    83 looks like it has a coffee stain or something. it still looks like something could be done about it. having only a pic to look at i cant really say.
