It will either go in the book or get graded. Thoughts?   |

Could be MS65 - I don't see it being a 66.

It could go in the book now and get graded later. That's what I'd opt for anyway.
This Morgan appears to be a gem and might even have a shot at 66. Hard to differentiate one point from images. Since it's a common date and would likely grade 65 I'd be inclined to forgo the $50 certification cost and leave it raw, at least for now.

65 from what can be seen
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 the replies. It was labeled 65. There are a few faint hairlines left of the nose and lips, but I feel it would go 65 for sure. Reverse has very clean almost deep mirrored fields. It will be sent in someday. AG

Leave as is. The most gem mint state Morgan out there. Not worth submitting unless it's a 100% guarantee it'll grade a 66

It could make MS-64 or MS-65 if it were to be submitted. Oddly enough, the grading services can be tough of the 1881-S dollars because there are so many nice ones.
