I bet I got a good deal right? That includes imaging and grading costs.   |

I'll say. How'd you acquire it for that price?

I went to a coin dealer, and cherry-picked his batch of Morgans that he was selling for $35. I had a free grade at ANACS and I dropped off and picked up my coins at their office. Throw in $1 for tax and $3 for the imaging and I come up with around $39. I just sold it for $100, 6 hours after I picked it up. The photo I have posted is ANACS' photo, and it is disappointing how bad it is.

I think I see the slightest wear at the highest points. AU58. Also cleaned. I kid. Very nice coin. 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."

Good work for a tidy $61 profit. Seems like a win-win for everyone involved  |

Exactly. In fact, I did almost no work. The $61 was enough to buy another dollar.

That's an easy $60! When you said those were the ANACS pics I cringed. Good to know however. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
