I bought as uncirculated. Hoping in the 63 range. It's got some luster but not as much as the guy made look like in pic. Hope it's not a dipped coin or AU. What does everybody think? Thanks, Scott   |

I like the coin and think it makes 63. A low end 63 on the borderline of 62. The reverse looks 65. The obverse fields are really nice, but the cheek is marked up. You can buy a slabbed 1881-s in ms63 for $40 so hopefully you paid well less than that.

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."

Were is a good place to buy from? Never seen a slabbed 63 for $40. Seen for 50-60 but not 40. Only place I buy from is ebay and a few small places. |

The obverse looks washed out to me, could be lighting, but I'd say it's on the border of being cleaned

The gouges on the cheek border on damage and take it out of consideration for Choice Mint State. It does appear to be Mint State and if it graded problem-free I'd go 62 tops.

MS-63, would need better pics to check if dipped. I don't know where numismatic student got his price of $40. Only 1921 Morgan dollars can be got for $40 in MS-63. You will need to spend at least $45 - $50 to get a PCGS/NGC certified Morgan dollar graded MS-63 that is not a 1921. |

63, but an unattractive 63.

That cheek area is pretty chewed up - may drop it to 62.

It is amazing how much certified MS63 Morgans have some down in recent years. Purchasing nice, top tier certified MS63 Morgans for $40 delivered is a good price. |

After shipping and fees, seller will probably realize $32-33. That's what this coin is worth.
If they paid to slab it, it probably approaches $0.
Economics suck on these coins.

I agree with the reasons for, and the grade at MS62.
The hits hurt.

62. The most common of all MS Morgan's.
