1904 O Morgan... What might it grade? Worth Sending in or too common?

jrt103

I am a novice in the world of graded coins... picked this one up locally and I was wondering what the experts think it might grade and if it was worth sending in regardless of any grade? Please excuse my poor photo skills... the first 2 show the details the best and the last 2 show the color the best. Thanks!

Looks like a 63+ maybe a 64. I would say no to submitting. As you noted, too common.

i concur unless it is a fish hook and in that condition still may not be worth it

65+ any day of the week. great luster!

64.
Not worth submitting in my opinion.

I had a bunch of raw MS Morgans. Got the Platinum PCGS Coin Club membership. Submitted my 8-free coins. I submitted 3 1904-Os over the past 3 years. All graded MS-64. Cost per coin on the free submissions is around $3 give or take. I would not submit that coin under the lowest service level Economy ($20). Once you factor handling and shipping, the minimum cost for the grade and slab is $30. If you got that coin for free then be my guest. Otherwise it just isn't worth it.

Surfaces don't look original. Probably cleaned or polished. Save your money.

No one can tell from that from the images in the OP. Based on the cheek and neck hits on the Obv I'd grade it MS-63. The golden tinted pics definitely depict some nice luster. The fuzzy pics show some nice ring toning. It is a desirable coin. Cleaned or Polished, IMO is not an accurate assessment.

EDITED: I grade it MS-63 not MS-64

Dipped to death, IMHO. Probably would net @ MS63, but certainly not worth the expenses to submit.

I would grade it a 63. Probably not worth submitting...

MS 63 in my opinion. Probably not worth the grading costs since it would end up being a common Morgan. I'd put it in a Wayte Raymond album and give it a few years.

First thing that hit me when first pic came up was ---- Cleaned. Every subsequent pic then screamed the same thing.

Assuming it wasn't dipped, and graded higher than 63 based on the hits, then I've been robbed on all my submissions, just IMHO

It might be just your pics, but it looks cleaned to me too.

The strike with the breast feathers showing on the reverse is way above average, but marks on the cheek limit it to MS-63 IMO. I got premiums for fully struck 1904-O dollars and had no trouble selling them, but this one has too many marks on the cheek to be "a homerun." If don't think that it is worth the grading fee premium.

Thanks to all who offered grades and other useful info... much appreciated. Learning more and more every day.

63 and not worth the grading fee
