1880-O Morgan guess the grade and error?

[JOBESSI]

I recently salvaged this morgan from a bargain bin. What caught my eye was the "O". Is it an error? Also, wouldn't mind hearing grade opinions while you are at it!

AU-58 to many VAMS to guess. Lots of hits on the prime areas, may have been cleaned or dipped.

I've had nicer coins come back AU58. I'll go with that. I don't think the Mint Mark damage is a VAM but rather just damage.

PMD (post mint damage) on the O = smashed

 

coin is upper AU / lower MS details

 

but would problem holder due to the

jack ther ripper scratch on the throat

I also think the mint mark look comes from a hit, could be AU or low MS say 61/60

AU details, post mint damage. Notice the damage on the obverse along Miss LIberty's face and hair. The coin could be a VAM, I would check VAM World.

 

Edited to add: I don't think you will be able to get this coin into a problem free holder, but if you are, I don't see a MS grade in the coin's future. Absent the problems, I would have estimated this coin's grade to be an AU58.

It's damaged, and would get a DETAILS label.

 

The gouge across Liberty's neck into the hairline, and the marks from above her eye down her face and onto her neck are distracting, but the gouge into the hairline is the damage IMHO.

 

Too bad, the reverse looks real good.
