1879-O Morgan Silver Dollar Grade

I have this beauty of a Morgan Silver Dollar here. I inherited her from my great-grandfather. I took it to a pawn shop to see what they thought, and they said it was one of the most beautiful coins they had seen of this type. I think it’s AU-55+. What are your thoughts? Thank you so much!

it's a gift from your great grandfather, that's what matters, no matter what the grade.
PS It's not AU55+ maybe 45 or 50 at most.

 

xf-au as dwhiz said 45-50.. but I will add looking at the 2nd obverse pic it's also been cleaned.... after blowing up the pic.. I'm sure it's been cleaned...
so xf-au details "cleaned"

 

You might try VAMWorld.com. That site deals with nothing else but Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars. I agree, close to extra fine to AU on the grading.

 

Agree XF-ish/harshly cleaned in spots. As mentioned above, gift from great grand Dad? Priceless heirloom......

 

I appreciate all of your responses. I never thought it might be cleaned. And yes, I always wish that those.white spots on the upper left were not there.

 

Receiving it from your Grest-grandfather is more precious than any value. I would say the coin is in XF-45 grade but it has been cleaned and that makes it a details coin. The cleaning was not the way to go on this one.
