Again, not looking for an AU58 common date. Too bad.
On this one, I hear you about the friction, but I was hoping for a weak strike. I have a hard time telling between week strike and wear, but there seems to be luster throughout, even on the flat areas that might be wear. It looks a lot like this one on ebay, too, which is MS65. The wear pattern, or strike pattern, seem very similar.
I had heard that O mint Morgans can have very weak strikes and everything else looked solid. I felt there was luster everywhere on the coin. Price was right to take a risk, but that doesn't mean I won the bet!
Like the other, hope a few more opinions come in, and thanks for yours so far, IndianGoldEagle.
Here they are side by side, MS65 and then mine.
