$67. #3 of 40 acquired recently. Recently I purchased 40 slabbed Morgan dollars (36 ANACS, 3 PCGS and 1 ICG) and will post one a day alongside one Peace dollar. I paid an average of $67 for the 40 coins. This time I will post the grade of the coin 2 days after and this time we can compare our grades with those of TPGs. Thoughts? Thanks!

I'll go with MS-61.
Errers and Varietys.

Maybe the reverse will save it from a 61......I think it will make 62.

the 82(O) are typically average in strike. this one is fairly sharp. decent luster however the elephant in the room is she s pretty banged up with lots of scuffs, marks and hits. too much for a 63 or even 62
MS61

This one isn't quite as baggy as the other 1882-O, and more of the scuffs are in the fields. I think it would make MS-62 on a bourse floor.

I thought this was a 61. Although the reverse is nice, there is a lot of chatter in the obverse.
