(6) 1884-O Morgan Dollars

How would you guys grade these? *Sorry For Making Two Threads In A Row, Not Like Me *

Nice looking coins! Based on the pictures i'd say they all grade between ms63-ms65. If you can get better pictures out of the holders it would be better~

 

Be sure to check them for the O/O VAM's. There are several that are "Top 100" or "Hot 50" with the "O over O" mintmark.

My personal favorite is the VAM-6 Top 100.

I think #5 is the nicest

 

#1 - 64
#2 - 64
#3 - 63
#4 - 63
#5 - 63
#6 - 62

... I highly doubt any would make "gem" at PCGS due to flat strikes. The cheek on #1 is the best, IMO, but the strike keeps it from a 65.

All look like nice, original pieces, possibly from an original roll.

And, yes, as Chris mentioned, they'd definitely be worth checking for the RPM.

Coin 1 is the only AU of the bunch. Wear in the hairline, and eagle's breast will hold it down from MS.

The rest look BU-GU no higher than 64, IMO.

 

You see wear? :scratch:

-Brian

 

I agree with the ear area being questionable with wear

 

They are ALL within the same range--typical garden variety Morgans in the 62-64 range--NONE of them are higher, and I see no signs of circulation. They are low-mid level uncirculated, as I have seen hundreds exactly like that.

 

Yeah... Definitely mint-state. I think BUncirculated is just mistaking a weak strike on the high points for a little rub, which is common mistake.

Well now that we can agree that they are 62-64, what would we value the 6 at?

 

I would figure an average price of $60-65 each as raw coins. Slabbed, they'd be around $70-80 each. Since they are raw, figure about $60 each.

 

I have them on the bay for $360 if they dont sell in a month, I'll probably be making my first ever submission for coins to be graded.

 

MS65 seems like a long shot, the second coin might be the closest to a 65, except the contact mark on the face might keep it out of a holder

 

I would say some nice MS62-MS64

 

Agreed and said that earlier. Nothing better than a 64 there. I would not waste slabbing them to sell. If you don't get $360, reduce the price to $325, and they will sell raw. There is NO 65 in that group.

 

Yeah from the beginning I didn't think a 65 was even an option, 64 yes but not a 65.

It would be a waste to get them slabbed, even if I went with Anacs I believe its $14 per coin I'd be in for nearly $50 each.
