paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/19/2016 9:34 pm Just picked up this 1895-O Morgan. This fills the 1895 hole in my Morgan date set, the last hole I needed to fill, giving me a full date set of Morgans in MS except for 1892 (AU53), 1893 (AU53), 1894 (XF45), and 1895. This is a VAM-3A, with the "beard" of rust below the eagle neck, around part of the lettering on the reverse as well. Seller and PCGS did not attribute, and I was able to negotiate price lower by $100 so that was a win as well. I sold three extra Washington quarters out of my Registry set for $540 so that helped cover most of the rest. Thoughts on a grade? Seller pictures are okay, but this particular seller's pictures tend to under-display luster compared to when I get their coins in-hand. Thanks for looking.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/19/2016 9:48 pm It's in a full grade holder. It does have a small rim cut on the right obverse @ 4:00, too, but this date & MM are notorious for terrible eye appeal in just about any grade due to cuts, scratches, indentions, rim bangs, etc. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 05/22/2016 6:00 pm Seems a bit undergraded - I would say 53 for this one Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4471 Posts	Posted 05/23/2016 12:39 pm When I looked at the obverse my thought was AU 50, but the reverse looks 55. Nice coin for a AU50 in 1895 0. Report this Post to the Staff
