Every once in awhile I get lucky and the Gods of Cherry Picking reward me! Spotted this 1887 Morgan dollar lingering around in a PCGS OGH and upon realizing which VAM it was (and with clash to boot) I did a double-take & grabbed it. The VAM is not attributed on the holder, which is why it is worth taking a second look sometimes...  Thoughts on a grade? What do you think PCGS said? Bonus points if you also identify which VAM it is that I saw lurking in the slab.

MS64
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."

MattTheRiley already nailed it with VAM 5 1887/1887 Doubled Date :) He deserves the kudos. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

I think it's MS65 quality and would guess MS64 in an OGH.
