<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 3355984, member: 37839"]It has light wear on it. The coin is NOT an uncirculated coin. Morgans show wear in high points of the devices very obviously. This coin has some signs of wear in the typical places—cap, hair, and eagle’s feathers. In my opinion, I think 58 is optimistic—I would go AU 55. Grading Morgans has nothing to do with how many bag marks it has—more relevant in this case is that the coin shows evidence of circulation, and luster breaks. Even if it were MS ( it isn’t), given the fact that it is a common date makes grading not worth it. The Morgans you see, the more familiar you get with tell-tale signs of light circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
