Hi all. Thoughts on this gsa please. There is a slight scratch in the holder that goes from the lower part of M to the ear horizontally. It disappears in these photos in the black background. The luster is absent because of the translucent material I used to photo with. Thanks all ! AG   |

It grades MS-63 at best. I would be more inclinded toward MS-62.

Assuming the cheek scuffs are frost breaks and not actual contact marks then MS63 shouldn't be a problem.

Typical GSA coin; baggy.
Probably MS-62.

Fields are not bad but the cheek has seen better days. I'm inclined to agree with billjones 62/63

Beautiful frosty coin! I don't think the scuffs and bag marks are deep or frequent enough to make it an MS62, so I'll go with MS63.

the cheek marks do not appear to be scratches but just rub from bouncing against other coins. typical GSA at MS63

I'd say 63 at worst, outside shot at 64.

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."

Thanks all for your opinions. I felt it was 63 when I bid online. The reverse is better than some graded 64's, but I got hung up on the frost abrasions on the obverse in hand. Currently am negotiating a graded 1880 gsa in ms 64 with similar obverse frost breaks by rub. I can live with it graded or not. AG
