1893-O Morgan Grade?

Unfortunately, my co-worker took the coins with him to give to his rightful family member. I can usually get a bit better photos, but I was on the clock and was trying to help him out.

I did 3 different tests (weight, ping, magnet) and it passed all of them. They have been in his family for few generations, so it is hard for me to think fake. If it was fake and I was fooled, I need to put some serious consideration into doing much more studying.

I really appreciate all of your efforts in giving me your opinions on the coin. I was really trying to help out my co-worker to get a ballpark on value...and I'm not great at grading yet. Thank you all!

The "3" has the look of a cut-down "8" from an 1898-O. The photos weren't clear enough to see tooling marks. Even though there is damage to the "9," the "3" wouldn't match a modified 1883-O. The reverse photo wasn't clear enough to get a good capture of the mm or to do a VAM hunt, but the "3" isn't right for an 1893 Philadelphia, either.

I have to admit, I've seen several altered mm versions of the 1893-O and I can only remember seeing one or two altered date versions. This sure looks like one, though.
