Hi all, I know nothing about Morgans, but I came across this as part of a lot of ebay. I'd like to get an opinion on a grade before bidding. Probably not a great cherrypicking candidate, but the seller's six year run of O Morgans ran from 1898-1904, skipping 1903 O.   After some of you experts weigh in, I'll shout out what I thought it might be. I don't want to embarrass myself quite yet. Thanks! |

Lack of luster has it looking XF40 but the devices look 45.

Looks like a strong 50 maybe 53 to me.

XF-45. Tough coin in higher grades!

Thanks for the opinions, everyone! Modern coins are more my forte. I had it at 40 based on photograde. I did notice that they're going for almost $2000 in AU58. That said, what do you guys think is a good bid? It doesn't look cleaned or damaged to me, so I'd expect a straight grade from a TPG if I went that route. |

Thanks BH. It was this coin plus a common date Morgan at under forty last night when I posted. Up past 60 now due to a shill bidder. 96% of your bids with this one seller? Get out of here! I'm a noob to ebay, but I'm not playing that game. I was hoping to get them both for 50ish, flip the 1884S, then get a freebie out of it. Oh well. Since I'm not planning on bidding, I don't mind sharing the link with anyone interested. Thanks for the opinions, all! |

40. reverse better than obverse.
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."
