1899 O Morgan Dollar Errors? 1 1

[CommunicatorDan]

Hi Again,

I bring to you this time a 1899 O Morgan.

I am not too sure what to make of so many lines. Is it from Die Crazing aka Crazed Die?. Is it a Shattered Die ?

Feedback please.

Lots of die cracks. Not all that unusual on Morgan dollars, especially those from New Orleans where poor planchet annealing led to use of excess striking pressure.

Coin worth getting graded?

Need larger, sharper photos. However, 1899-O is a common coin in uncirculated condition and only worth more that silver value if really exceptional. (If you spend $30 for "grading" your coin will likely have a new value of -0-.)

It would be hard to say from the pictures posted, Is the coin worth more than $200 or is it a special coin to you then yes, if you want to go for it

    Die cracks like those shown are extremely common on Morgan dollars, are not attributable as mint errors, and add no premium to the coin's value.

    Unless you have enough knowledge and experience with grading yourself to determine that the coin is likely to grade at least MS 65 (retail value of $200-$250), it is not worth submitting to a third-party grading service from a financial perspective. Are you familiar with what such a submission costs?
