Totally original with light to moderate "splashy" red-brown toning highlights on fields that have a sort of greenish Silver color. Almost certainly an original "bag coin" out of the 1960's Treasury releases. Well struck from the earlier C-3 hub, so better detail overall on the Eagle's breast than many of the date, and without the planchet roller lines noted by Bowers as showing on many specimens. I will note a thin "line" running North-South through the Eagle (enlarged image provided). This does not appear to be a staples scratch (wrong location for one anyway), and which may be a contact mark received while in storage or in the Mint counting room. Either way, it didn't bother PCGS or CAC, however is mentioned for accuracy. Not rare as a CAC coin, but not exactly common either. Combined PCGS/NGC Pop of about 3,500 coins in the grade, versus 163 at CAC (when last checked). Somewhat typical as the tendency to submit better date Morgan Dollars, and the more consistent grading of the series based upon the huge numbers both services have seen in 35 years, means a slightly higher pass rate at CAC. Due to value this may require Registered Mail shipping, which is slower delivery time. Optional Express Mail shipping.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
