This one came with a lot that I bought. And I'm having hard time to decide which grade it is. I'm at AU-58 how about you?   |

agree with 58. hair above ear looks slightly rubbed. coin has beautiful luster and certainly has an ms look.
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."

Only slight rub so I agree with your 58. Nice luster too.

I would say 58 is spot on.

I'd give it a 62 as it's not too abraded. I don't see any rub on the eagle's breast and, although it's hard to tell from the pics, don't see rub on the lower curls of Ms Liberty nor on the top of her cap. I'm under the impression that the hair over the ear cannot be used for diagnostics as it's quite often weakly struck.

MS61-62. I agree that this is probably a vault bag coin that got hammered in the bag but I don't see the usual wear patterns of lightly circulated Morgans.
