$67. #20 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."

There are a lot of small knocks on the obverse, but only one longer scratch on the cheek and a couple hidden in the hair. The reverse is rougher, with what looks like a heavy ding on the eagle's lower breast and three edge contacts, two under the eagle's left wing (our visual right) and a smaller one through the arrowheads.
On a bourse floor, I think this passes as MS-63, but an MS-62 slab wouldn't surprise me. Overall, a nice coin for the grade, and having the obverse better than the reverse is a plus. Very nice luster on this one.

I'll say MS-63.
Errers and Varietys.
