silverexile Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 1:26 pm Hi all, Advice on grade please for this 1896-O Morgan. Some background. I bought it about a year ago with some others and didn't really think much of it. Recently I have been reading that the 1896-O is rare in a higher grade and am revisiting.. Now I do not think this is in any way a high grade, but am interested in your thoughts. The color just puts me off, cannot decide.. I am thinking of ~EF-40 based on wear around the ear, eagle and the color.... Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 1:51 pm I'd be fine at XF45; I think it only misses AU50 on account of the eagle's breast being just a bit too smooth. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 3:55 pm Looking at FMV, XF40 $51, AU 50 $132 a big jump. Looks like a XF40. Look here for FMV,http://www.numismedia.com./ Edited by bpoc1 01/22/2015 3:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 01/23/2015 02:44 am I would buy it at XF prices, 45, when you get into AU, they do like some kind of original luster, ..but what about ORIGINAL GREY or a hundred something coin,, this coin might go AU50-53 depending upon the year and known strike issues.. and if luster is an issue FOR A REAL 100 YEAR OLD COIN.....

CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 01/23/2015 11:40 am I agree with XF, but I would have to go XF details. All those rim hits really bother me and some are pretty high up on the rim. Nice Morgan though Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7641 Posts	Posted 01/23/2015 2:43 pm XF 40 to 45. It is a very tough coin in any of the "UNC" grades. Report this Post to the Staff
