I have several Morgan dollars here. I am totally baffled by the whole grading thing... Some that I would have thought were total junk have been advertised as high graded items, and some I thought were pretty darn good lookin for circulated coins were graded super low. I apparently have absolutely no idea what I'm looking for after a week of Googling images of these things! Admittedly defeated... I'm hitting y'all up since you know what the heck you are doing!! :) Here's the 1st one...   |

45 too. From grades 01 to 58 you are grading coins that show rub from circulation. From 60 to 70 we are grading uncirculated coins that have fewer and fewer marks as the grade goes up to 70, which is perfect.

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."
