Hey guys picked this Morgan up for $20...I am a very very young collector and am having a bit of trouble differentiating the ms grades on this 1878s...please help
Not really, the hits to the neck and cheek limit the grade to 62 for me, but that's a great score for twenty bucks. What was your grade, I hope that my grade doesn't disappoint you. A grade is just an opinion and others may say 63 or 64.
I’d actually say MS-63, easy. Original luster mostly there, relatively clean cheek for an UNC coin, nice overall detail on devices and excellent eye appeal. Awesome find for $20.
That is a nice appearing coin per the provided images. For $20.00 you did not go wrong and uncirculated Morgan for that price is a good deal most times. Now you need to determine the Vam number to see if it is worth even more.
