mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 09/12/2016 9:46 pm I would like to post separately some different coins; all of which are 1899-O Morgans. This is an attempt to save some time by avoiding the entire attribution process on each coin by eliminating the micro o VAM possibility based only upon on the authenticity if the micro o. Please opine on specimens A, B, C, & D. If a consensus supports the existence of a micro o, full obverse and reverse shots will appear on the alleged authentic micro o coin etc. thx, mdp This is sample A: Report this Post to the Staff

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 6:43 pm Mark, I don't believe any are micro O's. It's easier for me to make that call if I can see a complete reverse photo. Micro's are about 1/4 of the height of the D and O of DOLLAR. Normal O's are just about 1/2 the height. Here's a visual comparison courtesy of VamWorld. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
AU90o Valued Member United States 199 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 6:59 pm None is micro o. Just imagine putting the mintmark in between DO of DOLLAR. If the edge of the mintmark touches the edge of DO, then it's not a micro o. Another way I look at it, the micro o size is about the same size as the bow knot right above it. Those above are just my way... others might have different views. Report this Post to the Staff
