I would like to hear some opinions on where this morgan should grade. It is in a NGC holder. Good luster, full cartwheel obverse. Nicer luster on the reverse, full bouncy cartwheel. Thanks!   |

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."

Below average strike. Good luster and surface preservation. MS-64, possibly a +

I 'll break the trend and say MS-63+. I think the marks that start between S5 and S6 and go to the hair is too much for a higher grade. The reverse breast has a lot of marks as well. The fields are clean, so a 64 would not shock me.

Well, I would have gone MS63. Is a nice coin, none-the-less.

there is some weakness in the obv which should be sharp and bold and the cheek has some broken luster but I'm not seeing anything to grade this 61. I'm still at 63

The slab photo shows a bit more. I think the dull luster the slab picture shows probably drove this down a bit more than it should have. Definitely under-graded imo.

They were a bit hard on this one. MS-63.
