Can someone verify if this is an 1900 O/CC Morgan....(pics added)

Here is the Teletrade Link. WHat are your thoughts? I use the Djvu pluggin to blow it up. I think it is...... I placed it in PaintShop Pro and think it is a possible candidate. There is also pitting blow the MM and I believe a clashed N and clashed t on the obverse. I could be dreaming.

Teletrade blown up....

Oney, can you upload and post the magnified image that made you think it was O/CC ??

I saw that one too but with the mottled coloring, I didn't really want to pay and see. I'm at the top of the graduating class of buying Morgans because of features I thought I saw. I hope it is though, that'll make two cherry picks like that in a couple of weeks!

Hard to say cuz the pix get too fuzzy when you enlarge them.

Brian: I was the underbidder to you for that coin because I thought that I saw the possibility of a partial "C" just to the lower right of the mintmark.

I'm glad that you won the coin, so that you can let me know how it looks in person!!

Could be. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, I guess. I assume the diagonal gash through the image is a scratch on the holder.

Looks like it has a good chance!

Ouch! I don't think so. The obverse die date alignment look right and boy does that mint mark look seductive. Die erosion makes this one really tough on those images. I sure hope you are right on it. That would be very, very cool.

The reason I primarily don't think it is VAM-8 is the clash. Clashed, it would be VAM-8B but the position of the clash is wrong for that one I believe. Look at the hair vee for instance. Nonetheless, at worst you got a nice clashed 00-O with letter transfer. And then again.....I could be wrong and you have yourself a HUGE bargain O/CC.

I know I would have taken the chance. I forgot completey about the auctions until 9 minutes before Heritage's closed. So I missed Teletrade completely. Fortunately, Heritage only had two pages of Morgans tonight. Hitting just a few, I cherried an 02-O VAM-15A. Hoping you got a good one here.

Ashmore photo: yes. Teletrade: no. I doubt it is the over-mintmark. The darkness at lower right of the "O" is likely just a toning feature. Poor and/or low resolution photos often appear to be the varieties that we wish them to be .... and then whenyou get the coin, it turns out to be nothing more than a disappointment. I used to have that experience when i was hunting down shield nickel varieties. Anyway, based on that photo, it's quite unlikely IMHO.

I saw that coin too. Good thing I decided not to bother.

Northeast Nusmatics has a picture of a PCGS MS65 1900-O that recently sold that looks very similar to that coin. Link I also wondered if it was a O/CC.

Can someone post a link to the 15A auction? I made the discovery on that variety.

Wow, 2 in one week -- incredible!!

Thanks for posting it. The discovery coin is a later die state. I will post images tonight.

I think it appears to have a fuller break due simply to wear blending. But would have to compare them in hand or with more detail. Great find on that one. We still don't know how rare it will turn out to be. Leroy has a fairly decent record with his estimations. They are the most educated guesses one could imagine.

Really hard to tell from that picture. From my experience with Morgans so far, it could be a O/CC or just the usual, wreched strike from the New Orleans mint. My 1900-O MS63 has a reverse that looks like OSHA would even condemn as a worker hazard. The die looks like it was ready to fly apart.
