1897-O Morgan Dollar

[JOBESSI]

What grade would you place on this morgan dollar?

[coinman_23885]

AU details; cleaned. I think I can see cleaning hairlines on the devices.

[JOBESSI]

If you're talking about the obv neck area, I think they may be roller marks.

[Walkerfan]

MS 60 details--I see some after mint abrasions

[James_OldeTowne]

AU-55 details, but I think it will not certify with a straight grade.

[coinman_23885]

I think they may be roller marks.

 

I see what you're referencing; even if they are roller marks, I think they are severe enough for a details grade. Sometimes these are market acceptable, and other times they are not (depending on overall severity).

By the looks of the obverse and reverse I'd say that there is a good chance this coin will not get a grade. The reverse especially has a "lifeless" look about it that would indicate cleaning or perhaps an improper dip.

[Kurtdog]

Yeah, that reverse is shot, poor little thing. Technically, and going mainly off the obverse, I see her at a low to mid AU.
