Another adoption from the tray where the culled orphans are put aside. Typically insipid New Orleans strike.   Colligo ergo sum

Your LCS called this a cull?

Your LCS called this a cull? For this particular dealer, that's exactly what it is. As I explained elsewhere here recently, their expertise is such that they cater to a clientele for certain high end coins. They do operate a retail counter and obviously buy a good amount of what walks in, but raw, common Morgans (even if AU/UNC) that other shops might send off for certification in order to eke out a few more bucks out of them, they put out with the bullion, ASE's, et cetera for the quick flip. They're simply not of great interest to them nor is it their core business dealing in them. Colligo ergo sum

Check the mint mark area for an underlying "CC". It could be a variety.
Nice pick up!

AU58. Actually I think its a better than average strike for an 'O'

It's certainly no less than AU58 and likely MS62ish. Another nice pick from the tray.  Possibly VAM34? Edited by dave700x

Nicely defined hair, feathers look good, I reckon it would get an MS60 if not higher.

Maybe AU, more likely MS I think. Great finds, both the coin and the dealer.

And to think I got excited when a 2015 eagle hit the tray @ my LCS. Some folks have all the luck  |
