$67. #21 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."

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

the 85 was the last year of half decent strikes until 98. broken luster across the cheek and neck. this would preclude from a 64 grade
MS63

It's lightly circulated, but it should still get an UNC grade. Some of the obverse scratches look more like a coin that has been scraped across a store counter or two, rather than purely being bag marks. New Orleans was both a bullion depository and mint, and received lightly circulated dollars that were used to top off partial mint bags. This has the look of one of those. IMHO, this one easily makes MS-63 on a bourse floor, although a TPG grader may knock it a step for the broken luster and dings on the eagle's breast. |
