$67. #5 of 40 acquired recently. Recently I purchased 40 slabbed Morgan dollars (36 ANACS, 3 PCGS and 1 ICG) and will post one a day alongside one Peace dollar. I paid an average of $67 for the 40 coins. This time I will post the grade of the coin 2 days after and this time we can compare our grades with those of TPGs. Thoughts? Thanks!

The obverse is very baggy. I'll say MS-62. The reverse is pretty nice though.
Errers and Varietys.

NS, a suggestion on your titles, given the volume, would you please indicate in the title that it is a TPG graded coin. Most, I never go back for a look, however, if I know there will be a reveal, I'll be looking for it. Obverse took a beating, reverse might pull it up. As a buyer, it's a 61 to me.

I'll go with a heavily punched-in-the-face Morgan at MS-62, only because of the obverse, the reverse is MS-64+...

That obverse cheek is rough, looks deep. Going to say MS-61

This year has some odd ducks in the grading because of the prevalence of prooflikes. IMHO, may be one of the odd ducks. I'm at MS-61, and would not be surprised with MS-61 PL. The reverse is nice, and would make a decent coin for the "reverse design" slot in an album.

I agree that it's a 61. Reverse is very nice though,,,  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.

I'm surprised it graded straight with those gouges displacing metal. I think if it was PCGS that it would have detailed
MS61 is correct
