let me know what you think and if this link works for everyone. The picture is not the best at showing what looks like a bunch of small scratchs but im unsure if its natural.

The photo works, but my computer has a virus and makes the morgan look orange!!!

What I CAN see though, is a mint state coin.

I'm not sure how you can say this without seeing the coin's luster. The slightest rub or disruption of luster can be a sign of wear. Additionally, luster is useful in determining whether a coin has been cleaned (which could be the case here although I don't seen any hairlines from the photograph, this is hard to determine).

coinman, I didn't say that I saw the ENTIRE coin as miscolored. I could still see the original color of the coin and see significant luster remaning. Please do not make unwarranted claims.

i see one photo, could be the lighting but i think it may have been cleaned/polished from the look of the one photo

That's my take on the coin as well.

From that photo I'll go AU50 to AU55, Details

ok thanks everyone, i think it was probably polished/cleaned at somepoint. I think ive decided not to send it but to send only my best grading coins. which all seems to still be in mint cello. Would this be a good consideration?
