numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 12/01/2025 8:55 pm $50. #9 of 35 Morgans purchased recently. Beautiful surfaces again on this one. Some bagmarks as expected. 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."

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3636 Posts	Posted 12/03/2025 3:57 pm If the obverse looked like the reverse, we would be having a conversation in the 65/65+ range. This would be a great coin for the "Reverse" slot in a coin album. The number, location, and severity of the obverse contact marks are the issue. I'm also at MS-62 here, but it's a nice looking coin for the grade. The surfaces are original and the reverse is fantastic. At $50? All day. Report this Post to the Staff
