And last coin. I took quite a risk while bidding on this auction since there was only one bad picture at auction site. Thank you for looking and I hope this isn't expensive lesson for me.   |

Did you check them with a magnet yet? That's the first thing I would do. Then weigh them. John1  |

Ms62. Lots of hairlines on liberty
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."

61 ... The scrapes in the hair really hurt it.

MS-62 perhaps MS-63. I don't see where this one has been cleaned.

I'll say 62 - the vertical lines in Liberty's hair really set this coin back.

MS 60 Dets, Cleaned. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: THE PRESENCE OF ISOLATED HAIRLINES DO NOT MEAN A COIN HAS BEEN CLEANED. |

i agree that hairlines do not necessarily mean cleaned however when they are on the actual devices they do. this coin was cleaned or polished with an abrasive. MS details

I have this one net graded to an AU55-AU58. This is such a common dated CC, that I'm hoping you didn't go above $150 for this example. Nice coin nonetheless.

I think he bough this in a lot of 5 morgans almost sight unseen for $138. Seller pics didn't give a lot of details. I think he did well from the far away land of one month long summers.
