sweet looking coin.
Is this already slabbed?
At first glance I would say 66 or 67
can't tell about the wear on the high points because of the lighting?

Wow, no clue on grade but what a nice looking morgan, Doc.

So a little backdrop and thinking.

-Christostock is spot on about the lighting. Folks often use this to hide "issues" with a coin. Reminds me of a buddy I had in dental school; his slogan was "If you cant make it right, make it bright"
-I agree with Reddirt and Dakota on a 67.......however, they (pcgs) tend to grade common coins tougher. Thats why I settled on 66.
-Mike's opinion is solid as usual. Obvious uneven "flow" of luster across the nose. Might keep it at a 66-65.

Conclusion, The coin is a solid 65, No doubt about it, with a solid chance at 66. Its living in a old Cool PCGS rattler so thats a plus. I LOVE undergraded coins. $40-50 over book as holdered.....not a problem. I was a buyer.

I would have said 67 and that is my real first thought before I saw all the comments. Beautiful coin regardless.

I now have this coin in hand.
I graded it and had Mike from Market Harmony graded it in person at this last weekends PAN show. We came to the same grade: MS65+

Now, what to do with it?
