I thought this was cool. Until now, I had never seen A pO01

Very interesting site if you like Morgans thank you for posting it.

Very interesting regardless. Helped me get a better appreciation for the level of detail as a function of grade, and made me better appreciate what a correct original Morgan looked like in MS. The MS68 and MS69 are pretty stunning in their magnified views.

Alrighty, nice site added it to the favorites list. I never could quite get the grading down on them buggers but at last I finally catching on. Thanks!!!

When I first started collecting Morgans, there was a lot of info I didn't know about. The following is a quote taken from a book I have mentioned earlier called: "Making the grade".....

"Keep in mind the the obverse is by far the most important side of a Morgan dollar. It generally accounts for 75 to 90 percent of the grade".

They say that there are different areas of the obverse that carry different degrees of importance when it comes to being scratch or mark free. A mark on lady liberty's cheek is more damaging to the grade than say a mark on her hair. It says the cheek (and the date) is the most important areas on the Morgan. Having become armed with that knowledge, I set out in my pursuit of clean cheeked lady liberties.

Here is another good link for grading. Lists mostly all US coin types.
