1904 O Morgan

Looks to be uncirculated but a very weak strike and/or advanced die state. Sort of conveys an attitude in New Orleans during that last year of, "Let's just crank the required number out and be done with it." PCGS certified it appears. MS61?

Will they give o's an ms grade with that much flatness? I mean if slight flatness prevents a 65 won't this severity nullify it from Ms consideration?

My guess is its slabbed as an error? Grease strike through at face and claw/arrow feathers maybe unless that's just severly weak strike areas?

A flat strike will never negate an MS designation on a legitimate uncirculated Morgan. It will only lower the ceiling.

1904-O is just one of the date/ mint marks that I pay attention to because of all the interesting VAM's.

VAM 6.1 it is. Reverse was used first on the 2A and again on the 12 before going to 6.1. Upper tail file marks are like a finger print. The obverse is distinguishable by the date position and flag doubling on the 1.
I had hoped to discourage others from collecting '04-Os for reasons of personal greed. I don't even want them interested. But it isn't working. The series has color, clashes, cracks, polish, gouges and doubling. They're easy to find and rather inexpensive. If word ever gets out, I'll not be able to corner the market.
I love to see them, bring out the next one!
