Any thoughts on this PCGS 1881-CC Morgan, thanks in advance. Also, I appreciate all the feedback that I received on the raw Morgans that I posted.   |

Might score a technical MS-63 but the splotchy reverse toning is a big negative. It should be easy to find a much more attractive example in an MS-63 holder.

The spots might have appeared after holdering. Perhaps a dip not thoroughly rinsed off? I agree with MS63.

Agree with 63. That ugly splotchy reverse is a deal breaker for me. As mentioned there are many unc examples of this date I'd find a nicer example

i think the spotting will knock it down a point for eye appeal. MS62

Thanks for the opinions on this PCGS Morgan. Once again, I apologize for the lousy pictures. PCGS graded it at MS64. Sounds like it might be over graded, slightly ?  |

rather unattractive 63
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."
