$67. #29 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."

Beautiful luster and a solid strike for an 1887.
The field scratch west of the nose and the longer edge ding from the nose to the lower hair are the real issues for this coin. The eagle's breast scratches are light and the reverse is solid. IMHO, the two obverse scratches hold this one to MS-63 and maybe MS-63+. It's close, though. The reverse alone would easily make MS-64. If it's a 63, very nice for the grade.
