64+

 

63--obverse has some nasty hits in the fields.

 

I'm with the 64 crowd , too bad for the weak New Orleans strike .

 

Me three! 64 it is.

 

Nah, AU-58. Great eye-appeal!

 

MS63

 

Why do you say that ? I don't see any wear .

 

I, unfortunately, agree. It is a beautiful coin though.

 

It looks like a slight bit of wear on the reverse, to me. The Eagles wing tips, amongst other high points on the reverse.

 

I know it's probably a 64/weak strike... but I saw some darker/mushy areas -on the rev: eagle's chest as well as on the obv: hair above the ear and eyebrow what made me think it could be a 58.

 

It's a 64, just as most of you guessed

 

Not surprised. I said 63, but it is a very weak strike 64. Nice coin, though, despite the strike.

 

I was debating whether to buy this coin, but I've decided not to because of the weak strike. It's one of the worst strikes I've seen on a 64.

 

Yeah, it is a very attractive coin, but the weakest 64 I have ever seen. The reverse is especially weak--the eagle looks naked. Shame, as the surface preservation is pretty nice.

 

While I do agree it is a weak strike...1890-O is well known to be among the worst struck Morgan years (1892-O is considered the worst). So, this strike isn't too surprising and the surface preservation is quite nice.
