<p>[QUOTE=&quot;telephoto1, post: 1744287, member: 9443&quot;]In this case the answer is yes, but this cannot be a blanket statement about all Morgans. The coin in question is an 80-S (albeit a VERY attractive one- love the toning). It&#039;s a common date that comes nice...thus a mark such as the one seen here would carry more weight than it would on, say, a Carson City issue of the same year, which is notorious for being heavily bagmarked... so all other things being equal, if this were the CC version it would be an easy 5 and shot 6. </p><p><br /></p><p>Similar situation with the 1964 nickel. It&#039;s a widget date, and though you make the argument that they are normally weak, the strike isn&#039;t the issue here. Frankly you&#039;re looking at a smaller piece composed of a comparatively tough metal...thus it&#039;s harder to impart a significant mark like that. I think the 65FS label is accurate there, if not a tad generous IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
