1880 Morgan Dollar Graded?

[A.Phillips]

Hi everybody, I have forgotten all about that Morgan Dollar ever since I bought it from flea market. It has a strong blue-green color toned on reverse and some colors on observe. So I want to ask for your opinion what grade it should gets? Is it worth it to send it to NGC to graded it or nah? I know that 1880 is one of most common date in Morgan series.

I'd give it 62. Marks on cheek are killer.

Good pics.

 

Should you get it graded? Well are you hoping to make it 'worth more' and/or resell it? If so then no. The price of shipping and submitting not worth it.

Now if you just like to keep your coins in good slabs to protect your coins and/or like keeping your collection in holders then yes grade it.

Nice colors!

 

I will start off with MS62 but I always have trouble with toned coins.

[A.Phillips]

All right, I thought it should be around MS61, but I may be wrong (of course, I am still rookie). I am not planning to sell it or anything, just keeping it in my collection. Thanks guys!

I'm thinking 60 maybe 61. Those his on the cheek and jaw kill it.

MS-60/61 W/ possible overdate vam attribution .Nice colors though

62

i would say 62

The color is interesting, but the marks knock it down to the MS-62 - 63 area. Therefore it does not have enough of a market value to justify the cost of certification.

MS62. The Marks on the cheek are very deep. Plus another at 6 o'clock.

 

If the coin were mine, I would leave it like it in the airtite.

Taking an even closer look, not on my phone, there are some more significant hits that I didn't originally see. There are some decent hits on the neck area. There is probably the largest hit between the neck and date. I know this isn't a focal area but it's quite large. Also, the second star south of the M in UNUM, there is what I guess would be best characterized as a scrape/hit. There may even be some slight rub in the hair, could be strike flatness though, hard to tell with the toning in the same area. Lastly, there is what appears to be a sizable scratch between the hair and the 0 in the date. All that being said, it may not even grade at all.

It's a nice coin, and it tarnished nicely. Those deep hits, though, those are like eye magnets.
