I retook pictures of my GSA Morgan dollars today and wanted to put four of them up for grading again with the new pictures. Thoughts appreciated. The coin is raw, with all OGP. My grade is MS 63, perhaps even MS 64.   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.

The scrapes on the jaw put it at 63 for me. Beautiful coin nevertheless.
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."

The parallel lines angled down from the northwest to the southeast are planchet roller marks (i.e. not damage.) There are a couple of other minor hits to the cheek and neck area, though, as you observed.

First and second glance both confirm 63. I like it.

MS-63 apper to have scrapes or striations on the jaw. Nice coin though.

I think it may make 64 also.
