westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7734 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 2:53 pm For some strange reason there are boat loads of 1879-O lightly circulated Morgan dollars out in coinland. Your's happens to be one of them. AU50 to 53 to these old eyes. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 3:48 pm Agree with AU-53, but it sort of looks scrubbed to my even older eyes. Report this Post to the Staff
txgolfer56 Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 4:47 pm I don't have others to compare against. But, New Orleans Mint is notorious for weak strikes which can make a MS coin look AU with flattened hair above the ear, lack of breast feathers, etc. This one looks like it has circulation wear in addition to weak strike. Better than EF but not MS. Edited by txgolfer56 08/31/2018 4:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The cap and cheek area also look to have very little wear Strike slightly weak but nothing terribly bad by NO standards.
