1893-P Morgan Dollar (UPDATE! Video added!)

[JOBESSI]

What grade would you place on this morgan dollar?

 

[Walkerfan]

AU 55-58 & unattractively toned. Lokes like chemical retone after a bad dip. I DO see some rub, too.

[FishyOne]

XF45

[James_OldeTowne]

AU-53 details, but with some odd surface issues.

[mtnstyne]

I agree with James, the splotchy surfaces cause concern but overall grade I would guess AU53-55.

I need more info on your pic-

 

Is this a scan? the reason I ask is I see no luster

 

I can imagine a CH BU PL surface with interesting toning just as easy as I can imagine an overdipped lusterless XF detailed coin that did not have dip residue washed off or neutralized.

 

ditto with your other coin

[JOBESSI]

They are scans, and both have luster, with a slight purplish toning

AU-53 details, but with some odd surface issues.

 

I agree, but I cannot quite put my finger on the exact surface issues. Regardless, there is clearly something wrong IMO.

AU Details grade - Improperly cleaned Improperly nuetralized May have surface damage

[Oldtrader3]

XF Details.

[CyberspaceVoid]

I'd go EF40 with details. There is too much wear in the hair and no feathers left on the eagle brest .... the spotting is my greatest concern as that might body-bag it it it can't be removed

[BillJones]

If the surfaces have not been messed with, I'd say EF-45. I'm not sure how original they are, and that's why I'm hedging the grade.

[JOBESSI]

Oh this coin looks soooooo different in-hand!!! I would say AU is spot on, and I'm uber excited about a potential development! What other type of coins has grouping of organic milky like spotting? Video & pics when I get access to my desktop!

Here's a link to a video I shot with my iPhone. My brother has my 5D no cu pics at the moment. Oh, and I have a cold, so that's why I sound funny.

The coin is not a proof; look at the rims. Your Youtube video further supports the majority's conclusion that the surfaces have been tampered with in some way. I would say it has been cleaned. I estimate that the coin is worth approximately VF+ to EF pricing.

[KeeNoooo]

Looks polished or something. Def not proof in my opinion.
