Here is your link.

Polished by a wannabe jeweler. Worth maybe spot to me, not $112.

BXBOY143

The overall "look" of the second coin is better by far, but it appears you have little knowledge of the series or how to grade/tell if coins are tampered with. Given that information, and the fact the mintage on this date and mint mark is only 450,000 coins, I would suggest you purchase one already graded and slabbed by a reputable third party grading firm. If you hold out for a while, you will find a nice one at a very fair price.

EDITED TO SAY: The second one is not that great either.

The above is just my two cents worth.

If this came in my store, I would buy it at maybe $35 and put a $100 price on it and be thrilled to sell it at $75.

gotcha i will keep that in mind...reason why i ask about "raw" coins well slabbed usually get out bid before i can blink
but hopefully that time where i find that one will come...many thanx

As others have said if your patient you will find one that is not messed with like these 2 coins, I have a very limited budget so I don't try buying that coin in MS but I have a beautiful VF<beautiful in my opinion> in my collection that to me looks way better then either one of these coins. Take your time and look at alot of these before buying.
keep in mind that is just my opinion.

I highly recommend the coin be in a TPG slab. There are some fakes out there...

BAJJERFAN

Pass on both.

Given the high grade of the coins you are looking at, how about one of these? You have not said (though we have not asked) how much you woudl like to spend, but give these a look. None are mine, but they appeared to be nice coins.

Quite honestly, I'd avoid this date all together. The 95-O is way overrated and overpriced in all circ grades, except maybe AU58.

That and the 84-S....unless either is AU PL.

on the reverse, the eagle's breast being so smooth and shiny
is almost always a sign of polishing.

both coins are junk to me. 10-15 dollars and i do not care if it
is a "better date".

messydesk

Don't bother with either. Find a problem-free F-VF. If the prices on 95-O correct, you won't be able to give away the problem coins, especially the first one.

just want to thanx again i was out bid and i will leave it that way really thanx because ya i have a lot to learn...

I'm a YN myself, 1 year +. I have a decent grading eye, well decent for me. For example. a fast continuous scroll of the first coint tells me: the reverse strike is week(hence the chest{now I returned},not just weak, this is wear. The wings make the coin appear AU), Lots of contact marks in the fields as well as the obverse, again a weak strike and or wear. My original guess was a 61, now I say AU58/55. As for polished, cleaning and tampering I'd like to know how to know I assume the polish puts luster on it, looking at the rise in letters you see a milky shadow all around each. Is this the identity of polish?

If Morgans are your thing, Paul, I suggest as much reading and viewing as you can. Morgans are not tough to grade. When I say "view" I dont mean eBay, I mean CIH(coin in hand), shows, shops and so on.

doh

Ugh, is that polished one even real? Looks gross.

MadMarty

Now this is a nice 95-O!!!
