Eye appeal is fantastic! I'm on the fence between 65+ and 66. I think I'll lean MS66.

With that booming luster, I'll say 66 easily.

Lustre is fantastic. I think it makes a straight MS66.

Wowzers! This critter is light years out of my ballpark. I've never seen an 1894-O anywhere near this beautiful in real life.
The obverse has some surface chatter on the cheek and in the field west of Liberty's nose. The scuffs at the truncation of the neck are obvious, but not terribly deep. The more troubling contact mark is between the cap and "US" of PLURIBUS. The rest of the obverse is spectacular. I think the obverse is MS-64, possibly MS-64+ on a good day.
The reverse is off the charts. There is a tiny contact mark above the "T" of UNITED and a small scuff to the east of the lower left wing (our visual right). Otherwise, the reverse is nearly flawless. I have to say, I think the reverse is MS-65+, and just might hit MS-66.
The toning and luster make the eye appeal fantastic. I think there is a +0.5 eye appeal adjustment here. I'd net this to MS-65.

I'm in the 65+ - 66 camp. A real stunner.

This coin is graded as a PCGS 65. There are no 1894-0 coins graded 66 or higher at either PCGS/NGC.

Yes this one graded MS-65 but I think it probably deserves a 66.
