$67. #34 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 MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. 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."

Nice 1896! The fields are especially nice on this one. It's the typical gun metal gray, but eye-pleasing.

I'm at MS-63+ here, nice for the grade. There is just a bit too much on the cheek and in the nicks on the cap for MS-64. The reverse scratch near the rim above the "M" of AMERICA is out of the way, but still noticeable. Nice one!

Very lovely, Morgan Dollar!
The Obverse MS64
The Reverse MS65
To bad the rim on the reverse is a little beat up at the 1:30 mark ...
. . . I'll say MS64+

I'm circling back to grading posts I've commented on, and revisiting my thoughts, especially where I'm an outlier. Re-looking here, I'm a little low and I'll bump my grade to MS-64.

Sorry, got busy at work for the past few weeks, but back to some extent now. I agree with the group that this is undergraded at 63 - Boooo. I would put it at 64+. Thanks for the feedback.
