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'll say MS-62. Lots of bag marks.
Errers and Varietys.

Can't comment on the PL suggestion noted on the envelope, but you got a nice deal on this MS62-ish 1879O Morgan! Congratulations.

Nice coin for the price! Grab that date all day long at that price.
I agree with MS-62 here. It also looks at least SPL. I haven't seen many 1879-O dollars that aren't baggy, and those coins seem to sell well over list when they appear.

the 79(O) are known for sharper strikes so this one is right there. overall i'd call it a MS62 coin. just a little too baggy to pull a 63
