1884 O Morgan

I'm going to say AU-58 due to the marks on the face and what appears to be some hair lines from an earlier cleaning.

I wanna take a position between the first two opinions. I think its cleaned (wiped with a cloth or something, no chemicals or solvents) and BU.

My logic is that the luster, based on these pictures, is just funky looking. Its kind of like some sort of a cross ya know? I see cartwheel action but I also see some dull shininess.

******By the way, I have not been too accurate with predicting cleaning in my last few posts but practice makes better!

I also think that the dull gray gunk on the rev. once probably covered a much more substantial area, which prompted the cleaning.

It looks like the open fields have some dull areas which I assume are caused by friction. I'd have to see how the luster "cartwheels" over these areas to decide whether it makes the Uncirculated cut. It's at least an AU-58, with an above-average strike. I don't see any overt evidence of improper cleaning.

Choice...MS63-64

I like all of your thoughts, I don't see the coin "cleaned" but also don't see it 64/65.. more like MS 62... bag marks on the face drop in grading as the OBV testifies(unfortunatley) overall a 95% evaluation... this coin is 100% 5%which is the REV is fantastic... 100 percent MS65...my meaning is simple the OBV is graded at 95% and the rev is graded at 5% overall grades given...SO you all CONTEST this fact/idea......if you will;. but as seen... to many marks on the
OBV....where the grade is given....IMHJO........
MS 62

aladinslamp, I agree with your understanding of morgan grading. If you look around, it can really be observed too. I have seen 65's with worse reverses than 63's.

This is one coin I really wanna see go to a TPG. I know its not worth it but what it comes back with would add to the opinions here and maybe agree with a few.

Yaaa but that is numismedia. From my experience, numismedia is roughly 20% higher than what I normally see prices realized for in a show or online setting.

The reverse is what attracted me to a 63-64. Yes there are some nicks on the face, I've seen worse on 63-64, but the date is real good except a possible nick on the 4. Very nice coin!!
