Find the Morgan 1899 Micro O, and guess the grade

hiijacker

Okay here are six 1899-o I found. Which one are the Micro-o variety, and what's tgrade would you give? For references let's number the Morgans as follows:

456
.23
..1

I think the Morgans in 1 and 6 are Micor, not 100% positive about 4, as it looks different from 2,3 and 5 which do not look micro.

The O's on the darker one's look different to me.

The question is, on the darker ones, are they micor o's or are they just in worse condition so the o's got flattened?

Yes, those are micro Os. . .

Would they grade a VG?

Without looking at my references, I'd say 1 and 6 are micro os with 1 being VAM-6 and 6 being VAM-31. Somewhere in F to VF ranges.

Gotta get back to the Heritage sale.

Coins 1 and 6 are the onlt Micro-Os on this group. Each grade arpund a fine.

1 is F-12.
6 is VF-30.

This is easy for someone who looks at a lot of these. There are a bijillion guys on the forum that could nail this from 20 yards away. 1 & 6 are the only Micro O's in the group. As for grading, #6 has VF30 details but probably wouldn't grade due to the rim problems. #1 I would call F-15, but I've seen slabbed VF20's that look no better. There is nothing wrong with #1 IMO that would keep it from grading.

In order to practice my grading skills, what would number 4 grade?
