I hate the term SEMI-key, but guess the grade on this semi-key 1892-s Morgan ;)

[FILTHYHOARD]

Greetings all. I haven't picked up much lately, but it hasn't been due to a lack of effort. I've been getting blown out of the water on many of the coins I've shown interest in. I guess others felt the coins were PQ as well and my bids which I thought were very competetive offers seemed low-ball in comparison. However I did manage to pick up this 1892-s Morgan. I'll leave the guessing to you guys

Well, I'll guess it grades White (cause that's all I'm seeing )

 

Need some pics to grade the coin.

I guess I was experiencing some technical difficulties. Problem should be resolved now

EF45

XF40

The 1892-S was a well struck date, so I'm saying XF 45 due to the rub on the hair around the ear and on the eagle's breast.

I like the coin (including both the obverse and the reverse). For me, the obverse carries the coin grade wise (EF45 obverse, EF40 reverse). I'd grade it EF45 overall.

[James_OldeTowne]

EF-40, but it's overdipped. VF-35 would be my net grade for valuation.

I think I need to try & post some additional pictures when I get home. Thanks for the guesses so far (to be continued)

[Mokiechan]

EF40 for sure.

[FILTHYHOARD]

Well first off, let me say that I like this coin. Now that I got that off my chest, for some reason, this was one of the toughest coins for me to image. I couldn't really get the lighting right and was pulling out what's left of my hair. Certain photos made the coin look washed out , polished in others. I just couldn't (and for that matter STILL can't) get it right. I will definitely keep trying & when I get it right, will post additional photos. If not, I'll probably just have one of our resident imaging pros here do the dirty work for me

Here's how NGC saw this one. I'm not sure I agree 100%, I think it's somewhere between a XF45 & AU50 (I'll call it XF/AU 47.5)

Also, for comparison, here are 2 of the last 1892-s AU50 graded by NGC that were sold on Teletrade. Very similar IMHO

xf 45 would be my guess
