|
1886-O PCGS MS-61.
|
|
Checkered Collection. Although not affected by any major contact marks, this semi-key dollar is undeniably modestly abraded, and displays fluttering hairlines here and there on each side. Rolling... |

1886-O NGC MS-61.
|
|
Checkered Collection. Recognized as a grade-rarity within the silver dollar series, 1886-O can be easily found in any circulated grade, right up through the slider AU-58 level, but true BU examples... |

|
1886-O NGC MS-61.
|
|
Checkered Collection. Sparkling stone-white and rather nice for MS-61, there are none of the really deep abrasions often seen for 1886-O, though numerous tiny ticks spread out across the portrait. ... |

1886-O PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Checkered Collection. 1886-O is represented in today's sale by multiple examples at the MS-61 level, and one can clearly see the upgrade advantages at the present MS-62. Decent sharpness and fine... |

|
1886-O PCGS MS-61.
|
|
Well-known as an issue that escalates rapidly in value at grades higher than MS-61, yet reasonably affordable in that grade, with this a decently struck representative. Shimmering silver-white... |

| 820 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014 | $1,100.00 |
|
1886-O PCGS MS-61.
|
|
Delicate hairlines scatter over the obverse but do not detract, being so faint and light. Still, the obverse is admittedly a bit abraded, though the reverse unquestionably appears fully choice. ... |
|
| 997 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $475.00 |
|
1886-O, 1886-S, and 1888-S, all PCGS AU-55.

The value of each jumps substantially between AU-50, especially 1886-O, whose value jumps tenfold in just MS-60. Three coin lot. |

1886-O PCGS MS-61.
|
|
1886-O provides no challenge at all in well circulated grades, being about as common as any other New Orleans issue. The story changes much for high-grade examples, as it then becomes one of the... |
|
| 765 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $330.00 |
|
1886-O and 1896-O, both PCGS AU-55.
|
|
Ten years separate this pair of New Orleans dollars, yet they grade alike at PCGS AU-55. They are alike in another way, since both are legendary for being fairly available at the AU level, yet theis... |

1886-O (VAM-1A, E REV, Top 100) ANACS AU-53.
|
|
VAM-1A is a "Top 100" variety, easily identified by the blatantly clashed "E" under the eagle's tail feathers. There is evidence of a number of other clashes as well, helping to drive popularity of... |

|
1886-O NGC MS-61.
|
|
The obverse is clearly the superior side, as the overall quality is actually closer to MS-62+, with nice luster and only a minor dash of bag friction in the fields. The reverse has been lightly... |
|
| 788 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $1,250.00 |
|
1886-O PCGS MS-62.
|
|
1886-O is an enigmatic issue in the Morgan dollar series - one that is very common at very-fine and below, but which escalates rapidly in all higher grades, becoming downright rare at the loftiest... |

| 611 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $475.00 |
|
1886-O ANACS MS-61.
|
|
Despite a lustrous appearance and fairly sharp details (for New Orleans), the obverse is simply too abraded to allow for choice consideration. No blemish is singularly distracting, but there are many... |

| 676 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $1,100.00 |
|
1886-O MS-60.
|
|
A little better struck than average for this difficult New Orleans issue, the hair over the ear is favorably defined, though the eagle's breast exhibits a trace of weakness. The 1886-O is one of those... |
|
| 677 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $2,100.00 |
|
1886-O MS-61
|
|
Ex. B&M 1981: 05826. An uncertified 1886-O Morgan dollar, which is a difficult key date in uncirculated grades. This example grades MS-61, though it has the apparent eye appeal of a higher grade. |

| 784 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $750.00 |
|
1886-O NGC MS-61.
|
|
Impressively free of abrasions or marks for the grade, so NGC’s apparently conservative assessment may be the result of a weak strike and a few wispy hairlines on the cheek. The reverse seems very... |

| 781 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $500.00 |
|
1886-O AU-50, 1896-O AU-58, and 1897-O AU-58.
|
|
This is an impressive About Uncirculated trio of New Orleans issues. Each exhibits a varying degree of golden iridescence, with the 1896 issue being somewhat dusky in aspect. The perceived marks on... |

| 782 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $925.00 |
|
1886-O NGC MS-61.
|
|
Normally coins that have been designated MS-61 are not very nice, but not this time. This coin could easily be in an MS-62 holder. It has rolling luster on both the obverse and reverse. Pleasing... |
|
| 785 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006 | $0.00 |
|
1886-O SEGS MS-63.
|
|
This is a super tough coin to find in higher grades. It shows rolling luster, and the detail is consistent with the assigned grade. There is a light hairline on the cheek that kind of knocks a few... |
