So I bought this 1902-O Morgan dollar than Im really thinking of sending to PCGS for grading. I got it for $60 but I think it should be at least an MS-64 and perhaps higher. Am I dreaming - or do I have a chance? What to you all think is would grade as?
Ok. I was hoping that maybe the images were wrong and you did infact get a 1903-O. That'd be a good buy for $60
It's baggy, but nice. It might make 64, but I'm not the greatest at Morgans. Trouble is, between the $60 you paid, and the $35 to grade it, you'll have negative equity. I just searched sold ebay for 1902-O slabbed at 64, and it seems the average selling price was $65-80. I'd leave it as it is, and just enjoy it.
I'd like to see more pics of the field under her chin, with the light coming from a different angle. It looks a little hazy like maybe there are hairlines there, but i can't tell.
With the scruffs on the cheek, I wouldn't go higher than 63. No worth fees even if it 64s. 1902-P is better than the "O" though.
a little. it looks to me like there is a patch of hairlines under liberty's chin. either that or some hazy toning interfering with the luster. Toning is ok, hairlines might get a details grade at a TPG.
I think you have a nice coin, but not worth certification costs. If you really want to play the slabbing game, anacs is cheaper and I personally think their grading is good on BU Morgans in this range.
Nice coin, but not a chance it will grade as high as MS64. Except you consider submitting it to NCG or PGSC
