$67. #16 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 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."

AU 58 not sure if nicks on obverse would keep it from MS grade.

I'll say AU-58 or MS-63. Not sure if that's slight circulation wear on the Eagle's breast or just weakly struck.
Errers and Varietys.

the 90(P) are known for softer strikes so what we are seeing is more strike related on the breast and around the ear.
MS63

they may have downgraded it for the stain and the hits across the cheek, jaw and breast but I agree it could have been in a 63 holder

I'm late to the party on this one, but I agree with ANACS, it's MS-62.
I keep repeating the mantra "depth, location, number." The hits on the cheek and chin are deep, and there are deeper hits in the hair, as well. The hit on the top of the eagle's breast is deep. The field scruff is consistent with MS-63, but those deeper hits are on the devices, and pull the coin down.

Seems like this one was nice enough for an MS-63 holder.
