Purchased six Morgans from a seller for about $109 each. This is the sixth and lastof these coins. Seller had generally bad pictures and some were better than others. This only had an obverse picture but bought the coins as a group thinking that there was enough value in the other coins that were visible to justify the batch purchase. Maybe hold your thoughts until the coin arrives and I can photograph it for you? 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."

Won't say what grade it is, until you get it in hand.  Errers and Varietys.

Some, or all of you may be puzzled by why I bought this. Part of the reason is that it is graded by PCI at this lofty grade. Looking forward to seeing what shows up at my doorstep. Seller is currently digging out of a recent snowstorm so no idea when it will get here.

Low MS-63, why the heck did PCI grade it 66 I suppose they aren't a very trusted 3rd party TPG. |

MS-66, PCI?  Good grief. I can't get past MS-62 here. The dings on the obverse are much too deep and obvious. The luster is nice, though, and the reverse might make MS-63. Edited by fortcollins

That gamble didn't work. MS-63, just barely. Chances are you got it for a good price.
