I'm at MS63 with a shot at 64. I do like the clashed Morgans with letter transfer..  |

I personally can't see this higher than MS62, 63 tops if the reverse helps it out. Too much disturbance on the face and fields in front of the bust.

I'll say MS-62+. Might make 63 if the grader is having a really good day. Cheek is pretty marked up.

strike could be a little better. normally we see average strikes for this year but the breast looks pretty weak. luster looks intact. based on the photos I'm not seeing any breaks. minor scuffs on both sides but nothing serious. decent eye appeal. I dont see it as chewed up as stated above. definitely MS63 but I think it has a really good shot at 64.

MS-63 looks like VAM 35B cool coin. |

I appreciate the insights from my fellow CCFers. These two Morgans (this and the 1900O) should be in hand this week.

MS63, and I love the clashes. Super strong obv clash w/transfer, back of cap and neckline The "rim issues" = rim Cuds, not rim damage. Extensive Die Deterioration (look above STATES, e.g.) Agree w/JasonKflo that this is the B (LDS+) die state of V35, can see the gouge above A in DOLLAR, the rust pitting at arrowheads not as much but it's probably there The lip double clash is visible but not strong The rev. clashes have been polished away mostly except for a thin crack opposite the leaves at UNI, the A state also has this die polishing but no pitting.

Wow I would have guessed horribly on this coin lol, the clashes are cool, I don't know anything about strike weakness etc per year on these but my guess would have been AU58-ms62 tops. Need to practice more on my grading of American coins.

64. The only detractor is the typical NOLA weak strike evident in the hair. Otherwise looks great.
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."
