This is a pretty decent 1898-O Morgan. PCGS holder, CAC green bean. I have not conclusively VAMmed it yet since I just won the auction but at a glance, it looks like the O is high and tilted far right, so I am guessing VAM-11 or even a  VAM-11A if the clash is there by the neck. Throwing it out here to get your grade opinions. I didn't have an 1898-O so that's one more off the list for me.  Most of these later O mint coins tend to be baggy and/or poorly struck; not surprisingly, this one has a few nicks, but I suspect the photos (possibly seller used a scanner?) are making it look worse than it looks in-hand.   Thanks as always for taking time to look and offer your opinions.

Borderline 64 but I say 63/63+. Decent strike for New Orleans

It looks MS63 because of the bag marks, but is most likely graded higher if the photos are making it look worse.

Nicely struck O. Sadly I think the obverse may hold it to MS63

MS64 would be my guess. Nice one!

 That is a stunning coin! 63. An above average strike for O.
