<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1173736, member: 26030&quot;]This is a PCGS MS65 Morgan I bought about 1 year ago for $178 on ebay.&nbsp; I love the MS65&#039;s as, to my eye, they can look almost perfect without the very steep price tag the MS66&#039;s demand.&nbsp; However, not all slabbed coins in the same grade look the same, so you need to be selective.&nbsp; Only buy coins off the internet if there is a solid return policy, as sometimes photos can be enhanced. </p><p><br /></p><p>MS64&#039;s typically have only a few marks and nicks and usually are very nice looking in general.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>MS63&#039;s can have a lot of bag marks and nicks, and can at times, look very torn up even though they are mint state.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with the above posters to watch the price difference between grades and buy the grade just below the big price jump.</p><p><br /></p><p>MS65 = Looks near perfect!</p><p>[ATTACH]122216.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>MS64 = A few bag marks and nicks</p><p>[ATTACH]122217.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>MS63 = Many more bag marks and nicks</p><p>[ATTACH]122221.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>By the way, ignore the toning on the MS63 and MS64 above, as that has nothing to do with the grade assigned.&nbsp; Toning, depending on it&#039;s appeal, (along with mirrored proof-like surfaces) can add slight to sometimes very large premiums to the coin unrelated to the numeric grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
