A 1904-O Morgan dollar picked up at the Nashua Coin Show. What grade do you give her? I think this coin has been dipped, but not sure if that makes it a Details coin. I do like the toning though.  Edited by NumisEd

63

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

This one looks like a straight grade 63/64. Coins are hard to grade from pictures but I like the look of this one.

So, the "dipping" doesn't impact the grade?

The dipping is not obvious to me although it is possible. An overdipped coin often does not have subtle peripheral toning. We would expect an overdipped coin to remove that toning.

Perhaps I mistakenly identified the white field as due to "dipping", when compared to the toned border.

63/64. The white spot in front of her face could be a sign of spot cleaning with something like EZEst. I've seen ones look like that if they used a swap to remove a wayward spot of some sort. Nice coin in any event.

Leave the tone on it. MS-64.

Looks nicer and more original than the 1885-O, 1887, and 1890 coins you posted.
