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."

Gosh that's a lot of 1883-O and 1884-O Morgans. Are you buying all these, trying to decide which to buy, or? Just curious.

Purchased two rolls this week. I also graded them this week in order to effect the purchase. The two rolls included 12 83o's, 12 84o's and 16 86's. I was going to post all of them but only posted 21 of them before deciding to post the remaining ones more slowly over the next week or so. The grades given so far largely mirror the grades I had assigned to the coins.

This is a nice strike for '83-O and I LOVE the heavy-duty clashing. I'll call this MS63, but could certainly reach 64.

With the scratches in the left obverse field I can't get above MS-62.

61-62 but this has an amazing strike.
This has the strongest clash (and counter-clash at the neck V) of any coin you've posted so far from this batch. The clash was so strong that the clash line that would be arcing inside of the left wreath is clearly visible where it intersects the wreath, which is not commonly seen.

Figure I'll post all the mintmarks for the 83-Os. No RPM here.

Looks like the seller didn't transfer the VAM-4 coin. If you were trying to find the variety, it doesn't look like there is any further need. Thanks to those who tried to help.
