1892 P Morgan Dollar With Multiple Defects

I'm a little suspicious of the "8" although that would make no sense to counterfeit the "8". Otherwise, it looks like a well circulated '92. Not a high dollar coin but, I love the history behind the Morgans and would definitely keep her in my date set. Enjoy!

Looks genuine to me. EF-45 details, damaged.

Looks like it was mounted at some point in a bezel or belt buckle. Looks authentic to me, though.

Thank you everyone.

It is a bit confusing to me because the 92 p seems to have less value, even in higher grade, than the 83 s and 01 o.

That being said, what would a coin like mine retail for? Certainly not melt but certainly low premium?

@dsking, I am new - 2 or less years - to coin collecting and came into it almost by accident (a longer story) but that catches me on every coin. Focusing on American coins - but also picking up a few other world and ancient coins - I imagine it's life and, ultimately, how it ended up in Rome.

From an 1800 draped bust large cent, slicked out Barber coinage, to Morgan dollars - they all got here some way - on top of the lives they lived in the U.S. and who knows where else.

Some bullion grade coins I imagine came as bullion, or as part of someone's type set, or as someone's 'large silver' collection, etc., but a slicked out 1900 Barber dime? who knows. someone's pocket?

at XF45 a straight grade coin would retail for maybe $100 at this this grade with the rim issues and surface problems maybe half that. if it was mine I would just put it in an air-tight and call it a day. if I was attempting to complete a morgan set I would use it as a filler

I'm a big fan on coins with some history and I like this one. It does look like it was mounted at some point, but for me that adds to its character. Unfortunately, it does not add to its value. Coins were meant to be used, spent, move around, etc. I like having a mix of "showpiece" coins and a "life well lived", coins.
