coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 07/29/2017 11:14 pm Well, what a disaster. The 1887 is gorgeous. The first 1879 O is nice, but probably only MS 63. I'll probably keep that one, as the dealer was not too out of line on that one. Yes, there was a fingerprint on it, but it came off easily. The second 1879 O is AU 58 Dets, Cleaned. I will have to be more careful next time. Report this Post to the Staff

I think I can see hairlines, plus there are the tell-tale halos around the devices. Third one: No way that is an MS-64. MS-62 at best. I'm also not sure that the 1887 would be considered DPL today either. Standards have changed, generally you want to stick to newer generation holders for DMPL morgans. Report this Post to the Staff
Fathead 5 Valued Member United States 294 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 02:13 am The 1879-O Morgan is not a rare coin in MS64; PCGS has graded almost 2,300 of them. If you want this date to be rare, get it in MS66. Report this Post to the Staff

Here's a PCGS MS-65 that sold for over $2,100: 122472559486 It's not really a matter of what one wants. It's a matter of what one can afford. We're talking a difference between a few hundred bucks and a few thousand.
