One of today's pawn shop finds. $44, I figured at $7 over Morgan spot it was a great deal based on condition even for a common date. What's your grade?   |

Looks 64 as the high points seem intact and there is no indication of wear. But the pictures mute the luster. Pictures that highlight the luster would be helpful. Great price nevertheless.  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."

Thanks Numis. Yes if there is one thing in life I cannot figure out it is how to capture luster. Panzaldi and a few others have given me tips on it and my brain just can't comprehend how to do it lol.

I'll say MS-64 as well.
Errers and Varietys.

Nice strike but not a fan of the marks on the cheek - 63

Very nice wing and breast feather detail on that reverse. A few blemishes on obverse. IMO this would make 63. Nice snag from a pawn shop for that price.

Lots of obverse marks, MS-62. Decent price for any MS Morgan.
