So I'm going to take a stab at where I think this one might land. I of course defer to the experts, but I gotta start somewhere, right? On the obverse, there appears to be no wear on the leaves and very slight wear one the hair above the forehead. A couple of bag strikes on the cheek, the "S" and first "U" of Unum. On the reverse, nothing significant, a bit of wear on the breast top of the wing. From what I've learned reading, I'll say MS-62. I humbly submit my homework for grading...   |

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."

I'd say AU-58, but very close to MS.

I'm not an expert, just a Morgan lover  You have a fine coin, almost gem, IMHO MS63 or so . .  |

I don't think this one's MS. The eagle's breast looks definitely worn to me. I'd say AU58.

21 Morgans can be an odd bird to grade compared to the rest of the series. Weak strikes coupled with bag rub and contact marks tend to make this date very difficult to grade from static images. I'll agree with MS62 based on what I see and don't see.  |
