OK, so what you're looking at is a 1899-O Morgan dollar graded VF-30 by ANACS. Coin has been cleaned which reduces the value. It's a certain variety known as VAM's in Morgan dollars. What you're looking at is a valuable VAM, part of the TOP 100. VAM 5 is the Micro O with lines in wings. You can view more info here: http://www.vamworld.com/1899-O+VAM-5.

Can't tell how much you know from your post and do not want to insult you but I will assume you are asking about everything in your post.

The VF30 is the grade of the coin. Explanation of coin grades. http://coins.about.com/od/coingradi...ading101.htm
DETAILS CLEANED: Good explanations in links below.

The 1899-O VAM-5 will bring decent money in AU or Mint State Condition. In Very Fine 30 Condition your looking at common money. VF Details melt bucket money.
