numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 12037 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:06 pm I thought this one looked pretty nice and had good photos. What do you think is going on at the top of the eagle's left wing? Strike weakness or reverse die flaw? Not sure what is going on there. 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."

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 81142 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:00 pm Not sure what's going on with the left wing, but I'll guess MS-66 for the grade. It's one of the nicest Morgan dollars I've ever seen. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1891 Posts	Posted Today 2H 50M ago As shown in the photos, MS-67. Interesting to see how this one comes in. Can't figure out the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6462 Posts	Posted Today 54M ago Obverse looks 67, maybe even a notch higher. Reverse is comparable, except for the wing issue. Seems like an as-struck feature, maybe from grease on the die? Might not affect technical grade but with the rest of the coin close to perfect this would bother me. If you are looking for the ultimate 1881-S you might want to continue the search. Report this Post to the Staff
