The bidder with a feedback of 139 has strange bidding tactics.

Hard to give a opinion without the coins being in hand ... or very
good pictures..
I do see a hint of a thumb print on the coin in the third link. In the 7 to 8
o'clock area on the obverse.

I'll postpone comment until the coins are in hand and new (consistent) pics are posted. Same here... Quote:

Second one: cleaned/dipped. I think I can see hairlines, plus there are the tell-tale halos around the devices.
Third one: No way that is an MS-64. MS-62 at best.

You made a gutsy move on the 79-O being removed from holder.I too would like to withhold comments till you receive the coin.But overall you made good pick ups.

Agree with TypeCoin. Taken as a whole, this doesn't seem like that great a deal to me.

The 1887 DPL Dollar came. It is absolutely gorgeous. The other 2 are coming tomorrow. I'll take better pics later.

Well, what a disaster. The 1887 is gorgeous. The first 1879 O is nice, but probably only MS 63. I'll probably keep that one, as the dealer was not too out of line on that one. Yes, there was a fingerprint on it, but it came off easily. The second 1879 O is AU 58 Dets, Cleaned.  I will have to be more careful next time.  |

Actually, the first one may make 64. I just looked up MS 64 1879 O Morgans on ebay, and one PCGS example makes Lady Liberty look like she has been in a knife fight. |

The 1879-O Morgan is not a rare coin in MS64; PCGS has graded almost 2,300 of them. If you want this date to be rare, get it in MS66.

It's a matter of what one can afford. We're talking a difference between a few hundred bucks and a few thousand. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
