Miss Liberty got beat up pretty bad with the ugly stick.
Other than that, not too bad at all. I'd give it a 61.

First,  This one's had a tough life. I'm not entirely sure all of the marks are just bag marks. Some of them don't look random, like the possible E or F to the left of the curl in front of the ear and the squiggly shape below the lower lip. If intentional, the marks would be considered graffiti and would detail the coin. The reverse is much better. I'm either at UNC details or MS-61. |

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."

Unc details for the letter F scratched into liberties face to the left of the ear. That does not look random

To CCF! I think this is a Unc Details coin. Errers and Varietys.

Thank you all! I have a better understanding of what to expect of a possible grade.

the hits on the cheek are displacing metal, if this coin was sent to PCGS it would come back as UNC details ( PMD code 98) |

Thank you for that opinion. Respectfully, I disagree with graffiti comments, and it is because of my poor photo skills that shows. You can definitely see bangs on it. I figured it came from riding on a mule cart of coin bags, train, or even made its way through the casinos in Vegas a round? It is a shame because it is a real nice Morgan and an uncommon date.

MS-60, heavy bag marks.
What looks like an F just looks like a pattern of smaller bag marks to me, not graffiti.

IndianGoldEagle, I agree. I do not have great photo skills, but it really is heavy bag marks from a lot of clanging. I was hoping MS63, but I can see MS61/60 from the gouges.
