[QUOTE="mstng02gt, post: 869366, member: 15174"]Hello I was wondering if any of the professionals can offer me some advice on grading morgan dollars. I have to admit this can be a tough coin to grade so I would like any pointers. I see a lot of morgans that I simply can't tell if they are uncirculated or just the slightest weakness in the feathers. So my question is how do you tell the difference? Here is an example of a morgan that I have sitting here below. By all appearances this coin appears to be nice and white.
