Can you help me grade an 1881-O Morgan?

[Coincrazy-migration]

I am trying to improve my grading skills. I have not tried to grade very many toned Morgans. This one was given to me as a gift about 50 years ago.

I have jpg's of the front and back could someone please tell me how to post the pictures on this forum. I have never posted pictures to a forum before. The photos are currently in Adobe PhotoShop. Sorry just learning.

Wow, NICE coin and images! I would say MS-62. Personally, I love that deep, richly toned appearance, and that's a tougher coin in better grade than many folks realize.

I agree with James good looking coin. And welcome to the forum.

I was thinking more like MS61 with those gouges on her face, but I'm blind anyway.

I had to run after I got ur pics up but I'm with the others, nice looking Morgan. I with MS62, I think the Rev makes up for the couple scratches on the Obv.

Thanks for all the terrific help, the warm welcome, and the grading recommendations. I'll definitely submit more.

Agree with MS60-62, I love the toning! Did you get it toned up or did it tone while you had it the last 50 years?

 

I recently purchased this one for the toning and is very similar, it was in one of the Tidy House advertisements.

Very sharp Obverse strike. Hair details way above average for this mint and date. The reverse is a bit above average strike, sharp edge details and a weak central strike--breast feathers--common for this mint .

 

MS63 without the Obverse focal hits. MS62 overall.

 

Nice Morgan and I really like the toning.

Cool, a Tidy Bowl dollar! There was a dealer at the SLNA show who had about a dozen, all of them toned quite nicely, like yours.

[Walkerfan]

that's actually a real nice coin--- sharp, original and clean (except for that ONE deep abrasion on the cheek). I'm gonna go out on a limb and say MS 63. It is at least a MS 62.

[HiHoAudio]

I'm comfortable with MS-62, and except for the cheek scrape it's really a nice example.

 

And I just realized that I need at least one Tidy House Morgan.

I think if graded they will hit this for rim damage - just too many issues

It does have some nice color but I think an MS60 on this

[$ilverHawk]

Rim damage? Please point out what you see as rim damage. I don't see any rim damage.

 

There may be other grading issues, but rim damage is not an issue.

SO I am picky - I see a lot of rolled edges into the deticles especially below the date and from 9:00 to 12:00 on the obverse and right below the "AR" in dollar and 8:00 to 12:00 on the rim.

That and the obvious visual displeasing items is why I went 60 on this coin - may go an extra point for color - Its a nice coin non the less.
