Unexpectedly someone gifted me three Morgan dollars. This is the third. Thoughts? Thanks!

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'm thinking the rim damage at K9 will keep it at 64.

Thank you for your kind comments and hope you are enjoying this day when we remember those who gave their lives so that we could be free and enjoy the ability to pursue happiness. A friend gave me three slabbed Morgans graded MS63 and then allowed me to look through his box of graded MS63 Morgans to exchange for any that I preferred. I went through the box and picked out this one as one of the three. Thought this one also had great luster.
