I’m not new to grading Morgans but this was definitely informative. What a great video, definitely felt like I learned more. Great breakdown of how the coin wears and the high points. So I would say MS 62 on that one

Thanks for the encouragement, I am new to it, just studied a bit and still have a LOT to learn.
Just getting started in the hobby. Sure seems like it will be a fun time. I've got a small collection of coins from the folk's. not much, but it might get me started.I really enjoyed your video and hope I learned something. Thanks!!
I would say MS62 on the grade. The main part I learned was about the high points.
I would agree this coin is MS61 👍

I could MAYBE justify MS62, but I lean conservatively in most cases.
I've got one Morgan. At least I know what to look for when I decide to get another. These are some great videos, Potts.
I’ll have to rewatch 👌
You earned my subscription. This video was much better than I thought it was going to be.

I think you were being a little conservative with your estimate though. I'd have this at a MS-62 all day long.

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
Just starting out with researching Morgans and watching lots of videos, but this is one of the best. Thanks! I just get the 2025 Redbook and I’ll check out the 1982 book you described as the best texting on Morgan’s. Is there a free or low car only guide to currency pricing fuel the many mintings of this series? Thanks again.

Morgan Brass 1898 For Sale Now
Just picked up a 1891cc in a newmans belt buckle. Jeweler is currently pulling it for me. Im not sure it ever left the sock drawer.
I have a 1903 o mogan that is in pristine condition, I think it's in the ms65 condition but it has one scratch on the cheek, how much would this downgrade the over all grade?

If it's a scratch it may not get a straight grade, but it could be considered damaged. It really depends on the severity. Some 'chatter' on the cheek is expected, but scratches are indicative of damage or cleaning.
Request, peace dollar next.

Hello TPS, I just came across your video from a few months back, on how to grade a Morgan dollar. I hope you get this post, as I've purchased a 1921D Morgan dollar and I think I got ripped off. I was wondering if you could help a new stacker out and maybe I won't make this mistake again.

How did you get ripped off? I will help if I can, what would you like me to do??
At least MS62, maybe even 63.
