[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3650906, member: 19165"]Some good discussions on this one! Here are the results: we had 49 guesses with an average of 64.5.... 1.5 points under the 66 that PCGS gave it. In my opinion, the strike and eye appeal are clearly gem quality. The luster appears strong. I don't think anyone is really arguing that. What I'm seeing from these pictures are very minor luster breaks. There are a couple of contact marks, but most of the disturbance on the cheek looks like very light grazes. The fields are nearly flawless, especially on the reverse. The reverse appears to be a 67 all day long. You might argue that the obverse is a weak 66, but overall I think this coin absolutely earns its 66 grade. I will also add.... while searching for an accurately graded Morgan for this thread, there were a *lot* of 66's that had a lot more contact marks than this. [ATTACH=full]980722[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
