How'd I do on this 1888-O Morgan? Toned Reverse.

Picked this up for $105... I thought about it for awhile and caved because I liked it. What do you guys think for the grade? Did I get a decent deal? Obverse is blast white and reverse is toned brightly rainbow.

    Hey if you like it and are happy that's all that matters.
    The obverse as you know is the "money" side.
    Check the wreath and arrows for doubling.
    I like it....whatever that's worth....

    That's a better date, you did fine. Would have been even better if she had that scar on her face!

    It looks like it's a nice originally toned coin with good eye appeal. Nice selection!

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Very pretty reverse and the obverse appears to be nice for a 64.

    I like it. The reverse breast strike looks weak, but that was normal on O coins I think.

    ...A Nice example of a better-date Morgan in the highest grade right before a significant price-hike for the next grade up...Nice Work and Congrats ;)
