I'll guess MS-63 for the grade.

I think that large hit below the mouth would limit this to MS-63.

Hard to tell exactly from the pics but a safe bet is 63.

63
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."

way too much light glare. we need to see what the coin looks like in hand. avoid harsh overhead lighting. there is a hit on the chin and eybrow and reeding hit on the neck. TPG's look at the location and size of of contact marks the lighting is obscuring the Reeding Marks however they do appear light so I cant see them causing a details grade. I'm at a high MS63 or low MS64 the reed hit would affect value |

Lots of small marks, MS-63.

I'm with @Zurie, chin hit keeps it to a 63.

Agree with 63, shot at 64. Strike seems a little soft over Liberty's ear and on the eagle's breast. Fields have very few contact marks.
Are you going to get it graded inside the GSA case? Most collectors seem to prefer their GSA Morgans with the case intact.

Most Morgans I've seen in the GSA case are MS64, so I'll go with the MS64, can't tell by OP's picture..

First,  I agree with MS-63 for this coin. I think the eyebrow ding, nose hit, chin gouge, and neck contact marks are just a little too much to snag MS-64, though it's close. The low second "C" on the mint mark caught my eye. There are several possible VAMs with this reverse. One possible VAM would be quite the find. The other possibilities are much more common. The obverse photo isn't clear enough to go any further with the process, but it's worth a look. Nice coin! |
