1887-O PCGS MS-65. 1887-O PCGS MS-65.
Lot Title: 1887-O PCGS MS-65.
Description: 187 graded MS-65, 9 higher. A softly glowing GEM, cotton-white luster benefits from a much better strike than usual from the New Orleans mint, though the curl over Liberty's ear looks a trifle soft. Initial impression of an untoned coin eventually gives way as a dabble of toning here and there around the date comes into view. Reputation as a very common date suits 1887-O right up until the MS-65 grade, where the population statistics demonstrate scarcity. (PCGS# 007176)
Low Estimate: $1,800.00

1887/6-O (Top-100, VAM-3) NGC MS-62.
Curiously dead-flat luster undoubtedly inspired the MS-62 grade, although as usual for the 1887/6-O, central details scarcely show on either side. Bidders with excellent eyesight will actually be...

1887/6-O PCGS MS-63.
White overall with a subtle hint of eggshell patina nearer the centers. The curve of the under digit "6" shows nicely to the right of the "7", and as is always the case for coins struck by this very...
907The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$1,825.00
1887-O PCGS MS-65.
Difficult to locate at the gem level, 1887-O provides little challenge in lower grades, where one seldom finds the kind of sharpness and rather impressive luster found here. Very few marks of any...
1000The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$425.00
1887-O, 1888-O, and 1899-O, NGC MS-64.
Line 'em up and fill three more difficult, though not impossible holes in your Morgan dollar collection. Delightful, smooth luster brings plenty of appeal to the 1887-O, although as usual, central...
770The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$2,100.00
1887/6-O (VAM-3) NGC MS-63.
1887/6-O VAM-3. Untoned with amazing luster for MS-63. This represents one of the very few VAM varieties listed in the greysheet, and that automatically creates premium value for any nice example. ...
709The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,500.00
1887/6-O (VAM-3, Top 100) NGC MS-63.
One of the few Morgan dollar varieties famous enough to appear on "the greysheet", the overdate feature shows up well under a loupe, with this the usual die-state for VAM-3. A small, curving tine...
891The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$450.00
1887-O and 1899-S NGC MS-63.
Both of these issues see large price jumps in higher grade, making the NGC MS-63 grade level an excellent "sweet spot" for the savvy collector. 1887-O displays exquisite sharpness, even nicer than...
892The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$4,900.00
1887-O PCGS MS-65PL.
1887-O is one of those classic Morgan dollar issues that is common as chicken feathers in low grade, but scarce as hen's teeth at MS-65, and downright rare with a DMPL designation. The PCGS...
615The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$270.00
1887-O NGC MS-64.
Stone cold silver-grey surfaces exhibit only moderate luster, and there are very few grade limiting abrasions on Liberty's clean cheek. A scattering of minute luster grazes in the fields likely...
777The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$1,100.00
1887/6-O Vam-3, PCI MS-63.
Though the under-digit feature for the New Orleans version of the 1887/6 overdate is significantly less readily observed than that of it's Philadelphia counterpart, PCI has correctly identified this...
695The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$600.00
1887-O and three additional NGC certified 'PL' Morgan dollars. Unc.
All four of these coins are housed in what are affectionately known as "NGC no-line" holders, yet the slabs are fresh and essentially unscuffed. The 1878 "7TF, reverse of 1878" is graded MS-64 PL,...
788The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$600.00
1887-O and 1890-O NGC MS-64.
A pair of semi-key dates, at least semi-key in uncirculated grades. Both are high end for the MS-64 level, particularly the 1887-O, which has a nice clean cheek. White coins.
