2 more Morgans 1896 and 1889

10 posts in this topic

The 1896 has a pretty significant hit on the chin. This insta-grades it down to an MS 64 but the reverse has some chatter too. It looks like an MS 63 I think.

 

The 1889 is weakly struck on the obverse but it grades very well. The reverse has a vertical scratch through the tail feathers along with some random spots. I'm guessing MS 64 since the vast majority of these are 64 or less.

weight on the 1889 is exact with 5 other Morgans I have on hand. Here are some better pictures, I am getting the hang of taking them finally. Got these for $27 each so not much over spot. I am more of a silver collector than coin so turning these over for bullion is highly possible :P
