<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 524889, member: 11521&quot;]I recommend that you buy a copy of the ANA Grading Standards and read it. It will explain what to look for and how to grade coins. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Your Morgans both appear to be circulated. Notice the lack of luster on both coins. Uncirculated coins typically have Mint Luster. The luster goes away as the coin is handled in circulation. Also notice all the little &quot;chicken scratches&quot; on the &#039;01-S Morgan; these little scratches often are caused by the coin rubbing up against other coins, keys, etc. in someone&#039;s pocket. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is also possible that both coins have been cleaned. I base this on what may be dip residue - the discoloration around the numerals and lettering. Others are much more knowledgeable in this area than me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
