Some scratches on the case, not playing shuffleboard scratches, but they are there.   |

looks ms65 despite the small blemishes.  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."

65 obverse, 63 reverse; but obverse carries the grade and the eye appeal is strong, so I would say PCGS probably gave it a full grade of MS65. Looks to have some attractive peripheral toning around the rims.

Loved the obverse, even considered 66. Hated the reverse which has lots of hits.
I'd go 64+ on this. Not quite 65.

This isn't the scarcest of Morgans in high grade; PCGS has 16,000 of them in MS65. I see no reason to think yours isn't one of them.  |

Agree with Paralyse on grade, but the toning does finish the coin.  |
