w1a9c8k5 Pillar of the Community United States 1348 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 10:46 am A guy got this out of a belt buckle. As you can see he damaged it trying to retrieve it. What do you think the value on this 1895 O Morgan is? Also any suggestions on if I should do anything to it? Edited by w1a9c8k5 09/02/2011 10:47 am Report this Post to the Staff

nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 11:37 am I would say $100 for an 1895O in this condition is pretty much the amount I would pay for one, so I think it was a fine deal. Report this Post to the Staff

RollSeeker Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 09/03/2011 10:36 am I might try acetone, but I kinda doubt it would do much for this coin. Might be best just to keep or sell as is. Report this Post to the Staff
Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 09/03/2011 11:51 pm afclassic87, the person who put this coin in the belt buckle probably had no clue it was a very valuable coin. Or didn't care. Either way it has been released from its confines and can now be appreciated by a collector for what it is. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff

nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 09/06/2011 08:45 am 1895O is one of the semi-key dates for Morgans due to rarity. If it was say an 1881S, then you would be right. Report this Post to the Staff

Imohtep Valued Member Canada 321 Posts	Posted 09/06/2011 4:58 pm reminds me of when I went to purchase my wife and I's wedding bands. Bought them from a jewellry store that was going on business so it was 30 cents to the dollar on everything in the store. They had a hand made bracelet in one of the display cases that was made out of common 1900-1910 silver dimes welded together. It was a beautiful bracelet but just the fact that so many old silver dimes were damaged in the making of it almost had me crying. Report this Post to the Staff
