numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11894 Posts	Posted 12/26/2025 12:06 pm $50. #30 of 35 acquired recently. Wow, as I write this, silver has risen to $76.33/oz and cull Morgans have a melt value of $59.09. How far and fast will this go? Back to grading. Thoughts? Thanks! IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. 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."

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74334 Posts	Posted 12/26/2025 12:15 pm I'll say MS-62. There's quite a bit of bag marks. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3652 Posts	Posted 12/26/2025 3:42 pm This one has nice original luster. It's a typical 1898-O strike, with fairly normal bagginess. I'm only seeing three deep dings on the obverse: a nose nick, a deep gouge in the hair behind the ear, and the edge gash on the upper neck. On the reverse, the only real knock is the gash on the eagle's left leg (our visual right). The other marks look fairly superficial. IMHO, these are fairly consistent with MS-64. VAM this one. It has a very near date with significant clashing. With the die breaks, maybe VAM-13A? Report this Post to the Staff
