Terence8788 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 What would you grade this coin? Some say it looks cleaned or polished and others say it's proof like. Looking for an honest informed opinion. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKK Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 It's a little harder with the plastic of the flip intervening, but from what I can see it doesn't look whizzed or polished. I think the mark in front of Liberty's face is the main detractor on what looks like a very nicely struck uncirculated coin. My guess would be MS-63.

jgrinz Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Those are not cleaning marks above the bonnet, they are die polish marks which was done at the mint … usually acceptable for collecting standards. The facial detractor is a bad one for me too - 63 sounds good to me too No its not PL its a Nice typical 81 s strike - nice coin.

Mohawk Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Man, it's been a while since I graded a Morgan.....but, after looking it over and thinking about it, I'm going to say MS 63 as well. It's not a PL, but it's a solid BU Morgan. Terence8788 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was first assumption, I offered $40 for the coin and the dealer gave it to me for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t give an explanation, I guess he wants to keep me as a customer. I was shocked because to my beginner eyes it looks like a fabulous uncir coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Hale Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Guys, this kind of looks like the polished 1881-o that I have & that looks too good to be true. I do believe theirs something going on with these coins being this way. They almost look fake... Travis Marquez-Collector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Hale Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If you look at the word DOLLAR on hers especially there is an odd marking around it. It’s harder to see on mine because I believe whoever played it , but it’s on it as well... Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david@coins Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The 1881-0 is really polished. Such a shame to ruin a coin. Travis Hale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even like Morgans, but that's a sad thing to see, even for me! Edited June 11, 2019 by Mohawk Typo Travis Hale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
