***Auction Highlight*** 1894-o Key Date; Well Struck; Fully Rounded Breast on Eagle Very Near Gem Morgan Dollar $1 Graded Choice+ Unc By USCG. Up for Auction is a coin that does not come along very often. A Well struck, Uncirculated 1894-o Morgan. The 1894-o is almost universally known to have an incredibly weak strike with most uncirculated examples having a fully rounded Breast on the eagle. Quoting from the Legendary Q. David Bowers’s book “The majority of Mint State 1894-O dollars are in MS-60 to 62 grades, about 2,000 to 4,000 coins in all. At the MS-63 level there are 1,000 to 2,000 estimated to exist. MS-64 pieces are rare, with a population of only about 250 to 500. MS-65 coins are exceedingly rare; only about 10 to 20 are known. Most 1894-O dollars are very flatly struck at the centers and are unsatisfactory from an aesthetic viewpoint. While cherry-picking is advisable, still there is the possibility that extensive looking will not produce a sharply struck coin. Compromise is then the order of the day. Pick out an average strike with nice luster. Forget about needle-sharp details.” While Mr. Bowers might suggest you settle for a compromise. The lucky winner of this beautiful Choice Uncirculated example will not have to do that, as this 1894-o Is sharply struck. Please look at the closeups as you might be a long time waiting to find a nicer 1894-o, especially a better struck one A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
