1897 Morgan dollar

[KeeNoooo]

this is a toned example i picked up a while back.

it is much more colorful in hand.

The real thing i worry about is on the left side of the reverse, near the eagles wing, it appars to have some strange hits going on. they look like dots. how much would these affect the grade?

other then these and the hit above eagles head, there really arent too many major dings......

thoughts?

1897 P is usually a sharp strike. This coin is not sharply struck. The bag hits on the Reverse detract, but are not a major issue.

 

MS64 at best. I do like the toning, subtle color adds to the visual appeal.

Thanks Carl. I need to get a book that tells about each year and mint. I do not know which ones has better strike qualities then others.

clean coin, agree on the strike though.

That chatter left of the eagles wing looks like a direct hit from another dollars reeded edge. Nice coin though. I'd say MS 64 given that the strike is a bit weak.
