jeffreyice1 Valued Member United States 381 Posts	Posted 07/11/2008 7:15 pm Got this at a great price, just wondering if the toning effects the price up or down. And if everyone agrees with the grading on this one! Jeff Edited by jeffreyice1 07/11/2008 7:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Same here...from what I have read the "O" struck Morgans tend to have weaker strikes so you have to take that into consideration when grading. Has anyone else heard this too?

dom Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 07/11/2008 8:28 pm This is not an unusual strike, particularly for this date and mint. I checked my little book on Morgans. Specific to the 1901-o, there was a high mintage and the dies were overused resulting in the weak looking strike. Also, it was in 1901 and dates following til 1904 when a new reverse die was used which did not show the breast feathers as strong. You have to tilt the coin to see the definition in the breast feathers. Report this Post to the Staff
