Nice one! Thanks for sharing! 👍
Personally, CC Morgans were the most fun to chase down!

Hey T, yessir, the interesting thing about this one is it had PL fields, but then got a bunch of Bag Chatter that kind of ruined it, but we will see what the graders say. The pencil is there to show the clear reflection.

I did notice the good looking fields. However, I didn't realize you were asking for grading opinions. Just thought you were sharing! We will see what they say!

That's definitely an excelling looking Morgan. Real nice luster to it and some strong details given the age! I could see it going as high as MS64 (PCGS has given 64 to some pretty ugly coins in my opinion), but I would say it's better to think more realistic and expect around MS62 for the marks, stain, and loss of some of the finest details. You'll be pleasantly surprised if it's higher, and not as disappointed if it does come back low. Thanks for sharing this find! 😎

Hey C, not really looking for opinions on the grade, just showing the interesting finishes that can be found on some Morgans even though they are not proof coins, and of course the VAMs themselves

You better send it back. They forgot to include the pencil in the slab.
