Morgan Silver Dollar 1893 And 1895 O, P, D Pics

Nice to have you with us, jman. That's a familiar nick - perhaps we've crossed paths elsewhere on the Internet.

The first thing you need to know is that those streaks on the reverse may or may not prevent the coin from being considered "original," and achieving a grade from a respected third-party grader. Although the color is not unreasonable for silver oxidation, the pattern is a bit odd.

With that said, the coin certainly looks Uncirculated and a guesstimate (the best we could do without very accurate photographs) would be MS62 or 63. That would put its' value at or north of $250-ish if considered gradable, rather less if not.

Extremely cool. The envelope must have had a minor sulfur content, the substance which normally reacts to oxidize silver, and only the place where the envelope was actually forced against the coin toned. That's what I consider a very neat feature, but would likely be considered "artificial" by a grader.

I inherited roughly 100-120 Morgan silver dollars from my uncle, most of them in less than UNC condition. Anything I should keep my eye out for?

Thanks Again!

I have the following 1893/1895, if any sound interesting let me know and I will post pics.

1895-O labeled "Fair" x2
1893-P labeled "Fair"
1893-D labeled "Fair"

1893-D labeled "Fair" - This coin is labeled "D" but the mark looks more like an "O", more on the way.

1895 - O's

marks around the in god we trust look like chatter marks, accented by the light
Cool coins,,,,, say any body want to inherit me some coins?

with echizento. Nice Morgans for sure. That 1893 is exactly what I've been looking for to go in a date set. It is difficult to find a semi key dates that haven't been "cleaned" in one way or another. Please don't pretty them up if you are new to the hobby. It will ruin their value.
