<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 575634, member: 5233&quot;]With Morgan Dollars, the first thing I look at is the strike.&nbsp; This coin is fully struck and looks to have good luster which is fairly common for 1885 Morgans.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think this strike qualifies as &quot;exceptional&quot; for the date, but its a nicely struck coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see any rubs on the high points or any other signs of wear...so the coin is certainly MS.&nbsp; The fields are very clean and the reverse looks great.&nbsp; However, on Liberty&#039;s cheek there are a number of hits...including a pretty good sized one just above her jaw line.&nbsp; Because of these marks are pretty distracting to eye appeal, I would grade this coin no higher than <b>MS63</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll be willing to bet that NTC graded this coin a MS66 as they are known to overgrade by a few points.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
