Does it say anything about a micro "o" and could you posibly post a scan of the certificate?

It's likely simply a BU 1902-O Morgan. The grading standards that these companies used in the 1980s were not always equal to those used now. However, it is most likely no higher in grade than indicated, and may well grade lower today.

 

You can go to any local dealer and they can help you, or go to a local bookstore and browse through the coin books and magazines. Morgan dollars are probably the second or third most collected US coin series and these periodicals always have price guides for them.

INS was not particularly conservative in their grading of coins from what I've seen. I'd say realistically, without seeing it, it's a $50 coin.
