1889 P Morgan duo grade opinions please

[jesbroken]

Here is a couple more Morgans I picked up for $14@. What are your opinions as to grade-the sellers pics sucked-these are inhand. The main reason I got them was because Liberty's cheek was so clean and the field were not destroyed, I was hoping for AU, I believe I got at least that.

Thanks

Jim

Jim,

They both look like "sliders" to me. Good pickup for the price for sure.

The top one at least has been very harshly cleaned. Plus the stuck on piece of something on the obverse, I would say bad buy on the top one. The bottom one looks like you may get lucky, it may be the lighting making it look funny, but I probably wouldn't have done it. Sorry.

Jason,

What you are seeing on the first coin is the mount it is sitting in for the pic. The other coin has it also, just didn't react to the lighting as badly, color wise.

Ok, I will conceded that it is the mount. But that doesn't change the fact that it is harshly cleaned.

I agree with jason, the first one looks like it has a lot of hairlines from being cleaned. The bottom one looks good and possibly enough detail to make MS60??
