Guess the Grade & final price (Morgan)

This was a coin I was debating but did not win. More on my reasoning after the reveal.
For now please guess the grade and the final price (including the auction fee).

AU-58+

I'm shooting in the dark with earplugs as far as price. $1,900

 

Wow

 

AU-53 and too much for the coin because of the toning.

 

1st that's a beauty
very good pics but not in hand is a hard call.. that toning makes it hard to say rub, or weak strike...
being an "o" I'm giveing it the benefit of the doubt and calling it a slightly weak strike... That said..
I'll go way out
MS65+ $1200

 

Au58 1100.

 

AU58. The two pics look slightly different for some reason. Maybe it's me?

 

Where are the $1000+ coming from? In MS-65 the 1883-O is less than $250.

 

because stupid people pay stupid money for toners

 

MS60 $12
I have no idea on both grade & price

 

Looks like AU58, gonna say around $500 for price. It's a toner, but not in the style that most of the big money ones go for, from what I've seen.

 

I'll guess MS-63 and due to toning most buyers will pay more. $400 total?

 

Solid pass for me. I hate high priced toners.

I won this one many years ago for answering a quiz question at a NENA (New England Numismatic Association) convention. It's in an ANACS MS-63 "soap bar" holder.

 

Any more guesses?

 

PCGS graded this one MS 63. And it went for $873.56 with the fee at GC.
To me the coin looks like some of the more typical examples of AT that one sees in places like eBay where the seller has a handful that all look similar. I believe it is a mix of chemicals and heat that produces this result.
The grade is also a bit strange; if PCGS felt it was market acceptable, I would have figured it looked better than a 63 (unless the luster is subdued enough or there is a hint of wear and it became a super slider).

I saw this coin hovering in the low $300s with a few hours to go and contemplated a bid that would be in the $400-$450 range. For a coin that is AT, that would already be a significant price, but I somewhat liked it and figured it would be an interesting addition to my set. Fortunately for me, someone wanted it a lot more than me and likely saved me from a questionable buy (I might change that opinion if I later see it resell for a lot more).

Here is one of mine in about the same grade without the toning.

 

Now that picture is probably much closer to "in hand" and I probably would have gone a hair lower (64 instead of 65) and lowered the price to 1k even.. but that's hindsite

I know I stole my 83 o for only $130 but like i said before people pay stupid money for toners and 2 sided rainbow toners are some of the highest I've seen...
I'll take PL over rainbows any day

 

I'm not sure where the 63 came from. If that's truly MS, it doesn't appear to have enough hits to get a 63...seems more like 65 to me. But, what do I know?

 

63 is beautifully Circ nowadays.

 

That was my thinking too-it has the look of a 64+/65 (especially if the luster is there).
