    1885-O Morgan in Raw form for your judgment on eye appeal, would love to hear estimated grade from you guys as well. B7B7B417-51DB-4732-ADB0-D0B147146D8D.jpeg

    Grade is probably MS65 but the color is like a 2.2 for me.

    2.8. Clean coin. Toning not intense enough.

    I'd sure choose this one over a white one.

    She’s not as pretty as some of the ones I have seen but was in my price range of a toned Morgan for my type set at $21 so it is mine lol. I also give it a 2.0 based on what I’m learning from you guys.

    Great deal for $21. Good looking coin, even if it isn’t a screaming toner.

    When you are ready, I have another Morgan. No skin in that game.

    Easy 5 for me. I’d go as high as 5.5. I also would like to see the IHC with a different lighting. Often these look way different in axial vs diffused light. Beautiful coin. The axial lighting would show off the cameo a lot more but the color would not pull through but it would allow us to interpret the coin much better having both.

    Also with it having a star I wonder if it was earned for superior eye appeal or if it’s DCAM on one side but not the other.

    Wow. Amazing definitely a 5.5 for me

    I’m at a 4.8 on the IHC given those pics.

    Axial-like images such as those posted can hide a lot of problems, can overemphasize color that is almost nonexistent under regular viewing, and in this case they also completely ruin the ability to see why the coin was given the Cameo designation.

    Paul can you also post regularly lit photos for this coin?

    Nope, I sold it years ago. That’s the only photo I have courtesy of Brandon Kelley of then Anaconda Rare Coins.

    That said, I agree completely with your analysis, but will wait for more replies before I reveal my grade.

    5.4. Beautiful coin. I suspect it would be magnificent in ANY light. Definitely a high end high grade cameo beautiful coin.

    It might be a magnificent coin, but we’re scoring the toning. Those kinds of pics are often highly misleading for toning.

    I have little doubt it is a gorgeous coin, especially if truly cameo. But toning could be completely underwhelming in hand.

    I can only score toning on what I see. If other pictures look different, and show the toning as less appealing, I would need to see them. Since we don’t have the coin in hand, we can only speculate. If it makes you feel more comfortable, I can say my evaluation is based only on that picture, and based on that image, the toning looks beautiful.

    Wow that ihc is stunning. Tough to rate the toning as opposed to just the coin. But 5.0 regardless
