Recently I tried to buy Raw Morgan dollars based on sellers pictures. Sellers are coin dealers from Europe and I have option to get refund if I don't like coin. I bought total of four coins and first two have arrived. In this and upcoming posts I'll upload seller pictures and pictures I have taken. I also try to give my opinion and grade of these coins (be it right or wrong). second coin. This coin was sold as unciculated. Seller picture  My pictures   On seller pictures toning shows up better than on my pictures. I don't see any problems with coin. I'll grade this MS-64. What is your opinion? |

Nice looking for sure, 64/65 quality if unc, but the eagle's breast feathers in the second set of pics seem to show a tad of wear, though I don't really see it in the first set. Tough call from pics alone.

64
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."

Looking at the seller's picture, it seemed cleaned with no luster.
However, your picture shows good luster. I will say MS65 straight grade.

MS-64.. Something looks a bit off. Maybe just the images

Maybe I'm way off, but it looks like there's slight wear on the lower hair and eagle's breast and right wing feathers, so I'd go with AU-58.

I am thinking MS-64 from your pictures, but I cannot tell if the surfaces are original or not.

I know the right obverse field has an issue, but this still looks better than 63 to me.
