I posted this coin on the forum a while ago, from an ebay purchase/gamble of $42:
1885-O-Morgan-Dollar-Ebay-Gamble...revealed
1885-O-Morgan-Dollar-Ebay-Gamble...revealed

After cracking it out of its "clown suit" a beauty emerged! What do you guys think of its grade?

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 would say MS-62PL, maybe DMPL, I'm not very good with that designation. Either way, it's a beautiful Morgan! Great find

Not going to venture a grade guess, but it's wild how the old slab hid the mirror-like surfaces! From the original photos, I would never have thought there was any mirror to it.

Nice coin!
