Can you help me with a grade on this recent purchase?

Thanks, Jes

AU-50 as a wild guess. The image makes it tough to say.

AU 50 is a nice place to start. Seems spot on.

my guesstimate fromj the photo and sight een might be different

 

looks really eye appealling

 

and is a nice au to choice au

 

great surfaces too

I see a mark on the cheek and maybe a bit of rub on the lower curl...tough crew tonight...I was going to say AU58.

I'm just curious why you sent it in to be graded? In AU, the coin is about a 70 dollar coin.

I live in remote West Virginia, there is one dealer I can deal with in 100 mile radius, probably two total. I've sold most of the CN coins several times over and still have a complete set with extras AU to MS63. You are right, I can get $60 to $70 dollars for the coin if I draw any interest. I can slab the coin and get $90 to $100 or at least sell the coin at a profit. Slabbed items over $35 even on Ebay will pay for the slab and usually guarantee a profit. Its the only way profit can be made on common Morgans, even in high grades. This is merely my opinion and experience. A clad will sell before a raw coin regularly.

thanks
