So do you guys think it would be worth the trouble to get this graded? And what do you think this would grade out at? Thanks for your input.

In my opinion the coin is MS-64. There aren't many bag marks on the cheek, but there is a lot of chatter in the fields.
I don't think it would be worth getting graded.

For the 1900-O youd need a minimum grade of MS64 for it to be worth grading. A 63 you could possibly break even on depending what you paid for the coin but its unlikely you wouldnt lose money below a 64.

I agree with MS-64. I probably would not have it graded.

Picked it up for $35 even. The guy at the Pawn Shop wanted the most for this one because it was in such good shape. Got this one along with some other $ coins and a roll of mixed date Seated, Barbers, & Mercs, along with a couple of Half Dimes and a few halves.

It looks like you have a very nice Mint State Morgan there. It is a common date and, without regard to variety, would be worth about $70 as a MS64. I would keep it in an Air-Tite and not have it graded unless there is some VAM attribution that would add to its value.

Most probably nearer than 64 than 3. Very attractive coin! Few tiny marks in front of Liberty's face.
Considering the potential value of this coin slabbing perhaps is not justified.
Just put it an a screw capsule and enjoy, and save the posting and grading fees.

Thanks, I couldn't pass on it for the price. The place is a pawn shop and they pay half of (124) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed 's posted value so I usually get stuff for a few percentage points above the days spot price. He asked if I would go $35 and I acted as thought that would kill me but agreed to the price and got the rest for spot rounded to the next whole dollar amount.

I of course disagree with the others. It certainly is a 64, and if you have the extra 20 bucks, certainly worth sending off to ANACS IMO. Regardless, very nice pick especially at that price!

Way to many times people rush to have a coin graded and slabbed. Later at coin shows or a coin shop, they see similar ones graded and slabbed and selling for about the same as if not slabbed. I too say don't bother with spening more on that coin. You did great as it is.

Depends what you want to do with it. If you're keeping for you own collection,no reason to grade it... looks like a nice MS64. If you intend to sell, you may need to get it graded in order to be able to sell for MS64 money.
