$67. #11 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 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."

A baggy MS-62. Nice reverse.

I'm at MS-62. Lots of bag marks on the obverse.

This one was worth buying just because of the wildly split grade between obverse and reverse. By itself, that reverse is at least MS-64+, maybe MS-65. The obverse is on the MS-60/MS-61 bubble. You have the new poster coin for the reverse design album slot.

I could see a TPG pulling this one up to MS-62 because of the reverse, but I'm at MS-61 here on a bourse floor. But that reverse is fantastic.

I think this is a 62. ANACS was too tough on this one, I think, calling it a 1. The reverse is very nice as others have noted.
