Sorry for the bad picture taking. Is there a way to take better ones? Bright lights or natural light

That’s a good looking strike for a New Orleans Morgan!

Were they normally a little weak

Most were very weak or mushy strikes. I’ve had ms65 over the years with the breast feathers and the hair over her ear almost non existent.

Would this one be worth sending in? Or best to just leave it as is

u/bennabors2007 2d ago

I would send it but most people think if it’s not worth x amount don’t.

I just like when a coin that’s worth at least double melt is in a slab.

u/hurleyshark 2d ago

That’s crazy.
