Sold a quarter-ounce gold eagle and purchased 17 Morgan dollars. These ended up being about $49.96 per coin. They were in a box marked BU but it is likely that it had some sliders and all were common date. Tried to pick out the best ones in the box. Will post one a day so as to not bury other threads looking for grading. As always, I welcome your thoughts. 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."

Tough one for me, I'll say AU58 since I went MS on the last one. Looks like a VAM-12A so it's a nice pick regardless.

Not seeing much in the way of rub, maybe weak strike, I'll go MS62.

I'll say MS-63.
Errers and Varietys.

This one likely has high point rubs as well and also is a bonafide commercial uncirculated from days past. It would likely market-grade MS62 at most TPG these days. The mark above ONE on the reverse looks older and not a big deal just curious. So far the coins appear worthwhile for the trade. |

Lots of marks but I like the luster so I think this sneaks into a 63 grade.

strike a tad weak for the year. broken luster in areas and the cheeks are pretty marked up. something is going on around AMERICA. not sure. possibly the coin was lightly dipped to remove gung.  . AU58 slider or MS62. I'm leaning slider. |

Doesn't look like the marks are deep. I think this is a low end 63.

High end MS-63. Close to a 64 but no cigar.
