Are those rim cuts or photo artifacts? In either case, I think you could find a nicer version of this coin for that money. This is a common date/mm combo. Graded versions in VF range can be found at this price.

Those are not rim cuts, but glare from the coin flip.

For example, the PCGS population reports for 1890-O show over 6000 graded MS-63, but only about 30 in any of the VF or lower grades. Finding nice raw circulated Morgans is a lot easier. |

I suppose graded, circulated Morgan dollars 1893-1895 are easier to find, but these are worth $$$. |

I didn't mean to suggest looking for a graded coin, just that coins graded in higher condition are available at that price. If you are going for a grade set, this coin looks fine, especially since the rims are good.

At $32 is nearly the going ask for wholesale VG coins. With these rising tides, the price listed is pretty darn good. Gone are the days of $10 morgans...  Quote:

The plastic is slightly more brittle than any modern plastic. Top cutting pliers work very well. For more rubberized plastic such as new ANACS or NGC, a vise to crack the edge works very well.

Yeah, I mixed up the two. I meant NGC, not PCGS.

Looks original. Possible extremely light cleaning in the past. F12 here. The commons seem to be going from 32-37 lately on the bay. Then of course you have to consider shipping costs and ebay taxes as well. Why I prefer to buy at shows. swcoin.ecrater.com

Nice acquisition for today's market ... Morgans continue to be my favorite ... Grade as advertised, no surprise. Note: Like your pics better.
