1880 O Morgan PCGS Top 100 VAM Value?

I think I'm going to send it elsewhere for a regrade. I was unaware of the code you mentioned. I know for a fact that this coin hasn't been altered, at least in the past 43 years. Hmmm, thanks for explaining that though. I did some research and there are several similar complaints popping up regarding PCGS rejecting grading on unaltered coins.

Thank you so much for your help. I am a new collector so I am grateful beyond comprehension that a site like this exists. I didn't realize how involved the whole coin collecting process was, makes learning even more intriguing. Glad to have found a challenging hobby with experts readily available.

these O mint Morgans are a real challenge for me because they are known for weak strikes so maybe someone else would be better to answer the grade question than I am. With you knowing that I am not very good at these O minted coins if the weakness in the hair is from a strike issue (which it looks like it is to me but I am no expert on these things) I don't see any problem with it being a MS-63. If the weakness in the hair is an issue created by circulation then Au-55 would not be out of the question. So I guess my grade is somewhere between AU-55 and MS-63 but there is a big swing there so I would wait for someone else to answer this question before you just go on what I have said
