Hi all, There are some very fine scratches in the hair above the ear and a few on the cheek, as well as on the left wing.   Thanks for looking. |

Given the reverse, I'll say MS-64+.

I'd say MS-64. The parallel lines on the obverse cheek, hair, and cap are roller marks and shouldn't affect the grade.

looks at least 65 to me  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."

 That is one frosty beauty! Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Looks like one of nicest GSA Morgans I have seen. Easy MS65 and probably better.

Exceptionally mark-free and frosty. Seems like an easy 65. Great example!

i think there are just a tad too many scuffs and marks to go 65 although close. MS64+

todays knowledge transfer. I had no idea
one thing I've noticed on the site, when grading a lot of folks use the + sign to signify a better than average coin for the grade. me included. if you actually look at the designations they use a star to indicate a better than average for the grade which is about 30% of coins are given this designation. they use a star to indicate better than average eye appeal. they do make the distinction between the two. most folks dont know that a coin could receive both a + and a star
