It looks like a mirco o tilted right, near date, VAM 6. AU Details Damaged - The hair above the ear appears to have had heat damage.

Never tried to grade one if these before, I'll say XF45-au50 details cleaned(not seeing any cartwheel luster). Also not sure what's going on in the hair behind the eye? Either way I'd say details if that's damage. Anyways will be fun to see where my completely random guess ends on this one.

I remember seeing this one. If I remember correctly, the seller claimed it was a strike through but they were unsure. I say AU-50 details cleaned.
Suffering from bust half fever.

Could either be a dodgy strike or indeed damage. Would be a gamble for me. I think its EF45 or AU50, probably details.

Agree with EF-45 details. Not sure what's going on in the hair area could possibly be a strike through error which would add value.

It has been suggested that this could also be a lamination. If so, part of it is still attached at the boll stem.

I picked it up for the micro-O and paid what I would consider AU pricing for a standard Morgan dollar. Hoping it ends up being an error rather than damage.

although the coin is circulated you can still tell that the strike on this one is not as sharp as a typical 99(O) should be. AU53 details
Rest in Peace

Looking forward to some better images. I'm still not sure if it's a strike through, lamination or PMD.
