    I like it. I'll WAG at mid AU with semi-PL surfaces.

    This one looks too good to be true.

    Most of the 1895-O dollars I've seen were dull, and weakly struck in the centers. This one is well struck and looks lustrous in the photo. It does appear to have a rub, which takes it down to AU-58 going by the photos. The Gray Sheet bids are $950 and AU-50 and $12,500 in MS-60. Going by the photos I'd say the value here is a lot closer to $12,500 than $950. It might even get a low Mint State grade and get offered for more than $12.5 grand.

    I would not buy this coin from the photo unless it's cheap. It's the kind of item you have to see and then decide how much you want it.

    I really like the look of this image of your coin.

    I hope it is an accurate representation of the actual coin; if so, its a keeper...

    Definitely shows signs of circulation, but not much.

    Not lower than a 55, but more likely a nice 58.

    I sure do appreciate all the help. I have more Morgans to come that seem to be very nice. Thanks again....Joe

    From the images, I would be in the AU-55+/AU-58 crowd. There was a little group of 1895-O Dollars that came out a few years back. A lot of them looked like this coin......uncirculated reverse with a good strike for the date with that rubbiness/high point friction on the cheeks. Coins in that group graded anywhere from AU-55 to MS-62, depending on the obverse.

    I've seen few 95-O's I've liked... but this is one of them.
    Better than a 50. Not a 60. So mid-high AU.
  • DennisHDennisH Posts: 14,010 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Looks AU58 to my eye, plus a nice strike and what seems to be excellent lustre. I've seen low-MS certified examples that made me want to barf. This raw coin makes me want to see it in person.
    When in doubt, don't.

    I could see the coin going either 55 or 60, but not 58. First impression was the surfaces strike me a bit funny.

    I do not think the coin circulated. Handled yes,but I think it could grade 62/63 on a good day,58 on a bad day. It will probably end up in a 58 holder after looking at the huge jump in price between AU-58 and 60,but I think it is an unc. coin and I like it.

    I really do not like the image- it is creating more questions instead of providing a basis to offer an accurate opinion

    Agree with the concensus AU55-58

    Nice coin, I'm going with 55 on this one.

    If the lustre's not f**ked, even with the vertical damage on the jaw, $4000image

    As close as GTG as I can get. It's hard to believe the two sets of images are of the same coin. I'm going with the brighter of the two. In hand, quien sabe?

    I would give it a 55 from what I can see.
