I won auction for 4 common Morgan dollars for fair price. It was quite difficult trying to get decent pictures through slab but I hope photos are good enough to grade these coins. Anyways coin number one. I'll post full slab picture after day or two.

I didn't see on the other coin of yours that it was graded by ICG. I have such a low opinion of the consistency of grading from ICG that I'd probably end up over grading to try to match their opinion.

On this one, it looks like an honest MS-64. My guess for an ICG grade would be a MS-65.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I will go with MS-63. Although a little hard to tell from the pictures, my suspicion is there is a more marks in the obverse fields which given what is visible on the cheek will likely prevent it from grading much higher.

It's really hard to get a good look from those photos.

Im at MS63 as well. But I agree this TPG tends to over grade coins. They probably called it 64 or 65

First thought was 63 but 64 would be no surprise if it has strong luster.

Fields are darker than design on this coin making it more difficult to get decent photos. I hope these new pictures help.
