I would like to hear your thoughts and/or opinions, both positive and negative.

I kind of like it; it looks like someone rubbed their greasy fingers all over the coin, though. Lots of different fringerprints and such.

I like the coin. It does have some interesting toning and marks as Chad mentioned. The 63 is a given as to the contact marks on Liberty's face and neck.

I love this kind of toning. It gives the coin a personality that is truly unique. Some think this type of toning is ugly, but not me. And as always, your photographic presentation is just phenomenal.

It has a neat dirty girl look to her, and I like my dirty girls.

This is the type of coin that I would consider to be handsome.

I like the toning, but I think it's overgraded.

Thanks to everyone for your comments. Personally I find this type of toning very attractive, even with the fingerprints.

I like the coin too, though I think it might be under-graded.

I think she's absolutely gorgeous!

Chris,

 

Why do you think it is overgraded. The surfaces look pretty clean to me. I wouldn't mind this in a 64 holder at all.

I see a lack of definition in Liberty's hair along the face above the ear, on the cotton bolls and leaves, on the eagles right shoulder, breast & leg feathers and the talons. I don't think it could have been caused by a weak strike, and I don't think the toning is hiding anything in those areas. Personally, I wouldn't crack this to resubmit in the hope of an upgrade.

 

I still like the look of the coin!

This is one of those rare coins that the fingerprints actually add to the character of a coin IMO...and a nice year/MM to boot

[DJCoinz]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Poorly struck breast feathers on a '78-CC Morgan are nothing unusual. I wonder if that brought the grade down? In my experience with PCGS, often as not, the fingerprints are put on by them, if they don't spill coffee or something on the coin.

FABULOUS coin, and in this case, "OGH" does not mean "overgraded holder".

[DJCoinz]

Thanks James.
