Purchased six Morgans from a seller for about $109 each. This is the second of 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."

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.

I think I see the reason for their lawsuit.  The luster is nice. There are some really nice die clashes. The obverse is pretty rough. The deeper gouges on the neck, face between the eye and hair over the ear, and in the right obverse field are noticeable, and the sheer number of little dings are at MS-62 level. The reverse is better, with the ding on the eagle's breast and a couple in the fields. I just can't see the reverse pulling this up a full step. I'm at MS-62 here. Not a bad looking coin for the grade. |

the 98(O) was really the first year that the strikes picked up at the mint so you are seeing more detail in the hair around the ear as well as feather definition on the breast
rev MS64 obv MS63. I guess its MS63+
price is right for the grade
