<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nighthawk, post: 214314, member: 6658&quot;]In hand, the color is the same on both the obverse and the reverse.&nbsp; For reference, the coin is currently in a white cardboard 2x2.&nbsp; I was attempting to show some more of the detail (especially the feathers on the eagle&#039;s breast) but I still need to work on my lighting and color balance techniques.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Compared side by side to a slabbed MS63 1904 O Morgan that I also own, the two coins are very similar. Excluding the scratch on the cheek and a small scuff on the upper left part of the eagle&#039;s breast (both pimary focal areas), this coin has less contact marks in the secondary focal areas that the slabbed coin.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for the reason for the inquiry, the auction house listed this coin as a 1904 P (no mint designation) and I did not inspect it carefully prior to the auction to notice that it was actually a 1904 O.&nbsp; The bid price was not excessive but the auctioneer indicated that he may be willing to adjust the bid based on a fair market value for this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
