<p>[QUOTE="raider34, post: 1830433, member: 16402"]I think it's a MS coin, probably a 63-64, because of weaker luster. I've seen plenty of Morgans just like that in MS holders. I think what a lot of people are calling wear (and they may be right), is actually an characteristic of the strike. Notice how weak the stars are struck, rim too, which indicating a metal flow problem (from either: improper annealing, low strike pressure, improper basining of the dies, or a combination of them). Also, you'll notice the stars have the same appearance as the ear and hair, it leaves a sort of muted luster, an almost frosty appearance (which would be the appearance of the actual planchet surface).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
