1900 no mint mark Morgan silver dollar

Could you post photos of the Eagle's head and the mint mark. Your title says "no mint mark" but it looks like there's an O directly above the D and O of DOLLAR. Thank you.

Thomas, ...we’ve been asking for better photos for 23 hours now...no response...Spark

 

He may still be trying to get it loose from the magnet.

 

Lol, he's more than likely the friend he mentioned.

 

read the other opinions.

 

I'm no Morgan expert, but do the numbers in the date supposed to get smaller from left to right for 1900 ?

 

The denticles look off.

 

3 days, 4 hours, 6 min...still no response. For this thread, time has expired...Spark

 

Not worth grading. If it's fake it's not worth anything.
If it is real it is worth the silver value. Just under $14.

 

Per NGC/AU58=$47.50. I still agree it is not worth grading, and the value shown is for graded/slabbed, not this one.

IF it is real, and cleaning is taken into account, it is “worth” $25-30 (imo).

Until we see better pics or see it in hand, we will never determine if the denticles are wonky or not, or if the numerals of the date hold up under scrutiny.

Personally, the date does look off...Spark

 

They exist, at least the 1900-O micro O's exist.

As for why make fake 1900-O's, well if they are contemporary counterfeits a dollar was from 1/3 to 1 days pay for an average workman. If you could make a fake dollar at a cost of 30 cents or so you could make a good profit. You could even make them from good 90% silver which would make them MUCH more likely to pass because silver was around 45 cents an oz at the time. If you had even a simple screw press you could make about 20 coins a minute if you had the planchets on hand. So work 10 hours for $3, or run your press for 10 minutes and make $200 (average income for a workman was under $1000 per year at the time, but the counterfeiter could make a fifth of that amount in 10 minutes.)

As for the title saying "no" mintmark, he could have been trying to indicate a New Orleans mintmark.

 

Great job pep. Tnks

 

If it is a details coin, the grade is meaningless and it is melt value.
And it's not an AU coin.
For most details coins to have value above melt, they would have to be a semi key or better date.
I still don't know if this coin is counterfeit or not.
