numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 02/01/2026 10:34 pm $67. #32 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."

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3630 Posts	Posted 02/02/2026 12:10 pm OK, I'll be the curmudgeon again. I can't quite get to MS-63 here. On a bourse floor, the obverse is MS-62. There are too many scratches on the cheek and lower jaw and far too many small nicks in the hair above the ear and lower hair curls for 63. The obverse fields are better, and that keeps it from MS-61 for the obverse. The reverse is beautiful, but there is something going on with the reverse rim from 6:30-8:00, and a bit of that is visible on the obverse rim above the "BU" of PLURIBUS. I do think the reverse makes MS-64, but the breast ding and marks across the legs, in the field below the eagle's right wing (our visual left), and the arrows holds it to MS-64. The coin has nice original luster and a good appearance for the grade. I don't think the reverse can pull the obverse up a full step, so I'd call this MS-62+ tops, regardless of a slab grade. Since that plus grade is a scarce as hen's teeth, I think it would trade on a bourse floor as MS-62, with a slight bump in price for the overall appearance. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 02/03/2026 11:32 pm Not the nicest 63 I've ever seen but a 63 nevertheless in agreement with most of you and ANACS. A nice reverse and plenty of luster.
