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."

Errers and Varietys.

I'd like it better as a 62 than a 63. The mark in front of the nose bringing it down. Probably 63 otherwise.

Are those marks in front of the nose above the field or scratches? numismatic student, partial Morgan dollar coin pictured below.  |

the obv and rev look like two different coins. most likely the coin was stored obv up for quite a while. obviously the coin cannot make MS64 with the obv scratches/marks/dings etc. not sure what caused the mark in front of the nose. I dont think its bad enough to warrant an MS62 grade especially with the reverse. I think it nets to MS63

Reasonably well struck breast feathers.
? Do I see a tiny amount of wear on hair above Lib's ear ?
To be safe, I say
MS-61.
