I have inherited this Morgan 1898O and am trying to find any information about it. Does it have much value? I noticed the grading co. is unknown, would it be worth regrading to pcgs? Thanks! (the reverse is not doubled just bad camera action)

We would need better photos to tell what you really have. But I'm pretty sure the coin won't grade MS66 just based on the grading company.

That isn't a rare date, so if you sent it off to pcgs, it wouldn't be worth it. You would spend too much on grading and you would lower the amount of profit you could get. If you are selling it, I would sell it as is.

Given the third-world grading company, it's not even reasonable to believe it's Mint State at all.

I would break the coin out of that holder, throw the holder away, and forget that holder ever existed.

Never buy a coin that isn't graded by PCGS, NGC, or ANACS. For the most part, every other company has no standard for grading coins. In fact, there are some that will grade counterfeits.

If you bought the coin to keep it, put it in a cardboard/plastic holder. Otherwise, if you plan to sell it, just sell it raw.

Whew Thank you for all your answers. I knew when I saw the grader I wondered who along the the line of family who owned this, what were they thinking. I understand luster with coins but what about cleaning marks? I am not sure what to look for when its been cleaned. Any suggestions?

The barcode is postal code, used only by the post office! Actually it's the old style they stopped using a few years back. I'd be concerned about the authenticity of the coin.

Rest in Peace
