1895-O PCGS AU-50. 1895-O PCGS AU-50.
Lot Title: 1895-O PCGS AU-50.
Description: Sparkling bands of luster provide an appearance reminiscent of mint-state, and the reverse shows strong breast feathers as one would expect from AU-55. So why not the higher grade? Light hairlines in the obverse left field may help explain a "silent net grade", which means that overall, the lucky new owner should be able to obtain much quality sharpness (especially for 1895-O) from a relatively conservative bid. Liberty's cheek displays virtually no abrasions at all, and overall lavender-grey patina receives aesthetic benefit from scattered rust-gold toning crowded around smaller details. (PCGS# 007236)

1895-O PCGS AU-53.
Checkered Collection. 1895-O has a reputation as one of the classic grade-rarities in the series, being more common than its cousin 1895-S below MS-60 but then escalating immediately to key status in...
939The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$2,100.00
1895-O PCGS AU-55.
Checkered Collection. Flowline texture technically extends completely through the fields, although as one would expect of a silver dollar with very light circulation, the luster weakens a bit through...
852The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$650.00
1895-O PCGS XF-45, and an 1896-S PCGS XF-40.
Smithereen's Collection. A pair of semi-keys, both experience serious escalation in cost above this, the XF level. 1895-O shows tantalizing luster beneath gorgeous, original tin-grey patina, but...
853The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$425.00
1895-O PCGS XF-45.
Smithereen's Collection. A near-miss for AU, substantial luster fills the peripheral areas and gathers near the primary devices of both sides. The value for 1895-O nearly doubles with a five point...
936The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$925.00
Five 1895-O, as described.
Roman Powers Collection. These could almost be the beginning of a grading set, as each shows a slightly different sharpness from all its companions. In descending numeric order, grades could be...
937The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$360.00
1895-O VG, 1895-S Good, and a 1903-S VG.
New World Estate. 1895-O has strong, bold rims and flat internal details to go along with supremely natural patina. 1895-S nearly shows the same sharpness, but very weak reverse rims will drop the...
938The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$650.00
1895-O and 1895-S, both F.
New World Estate. 1895-O appears to have slightly better-than-fine sharpness, but surfaces are a little pale, leading to an overall basic "fine" net grade. 1895-S definitely seems to meet VF-plus...
939The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$1,150.00
1895-O PCGS AU-53.
More common than the 1895-S in all except UNC grades, 1895-O begins to turn the tables on its sister as it progresses into better AU territory, becoming the more valuable issue at about the AU-55...
940The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$1,250.00
1895-O NGC AU-55.
Substantive graphite-tan patina shows especially deep character on the obverse, though both sides are completely draped in this somewhat mottled color scheme. The low-contrast color tends to downplay...
810The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$700.00
1895-O and 1903-S, both XF.
Tough empty album holes, even for a circulated set, may be addressed with acquisition of this nicer pair. Both grade XF and offer equitable luster, but more importantly, they match up virtually to...
811The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$3,100.00
1895-O NGC AU-58.
1895-O is one of several Morgan dollar issues that isn't exactly cheap in circulated grades, but can readily be located up through the VF/XF level. For the collector of UNC sets, however, the price...
729The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$625.00
1895-O and 1895-S, both VG.
1895-O is picture-perfect at VG-8, while the 1895-S actually looks fully "fine", and both are nice, original pieces with no problems. A better, honestly circulated two coin lot.
730The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$750.00
1895-O PCGS AU-50.
An intriguing appearance stems directly from frothy grey patina in the fields that clashes memorably with crumbles of earth-tone coloration strewn throughout the peripheral devices, accompanied by...
731The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$3,200.00
1895-O NGC AU-58.
One of the great Morgan dollar rarities in UNC grades, the 1895-O has a wholesale value in MS-60 of around thirteen-thousand dollars at the time of this sale, putting it well out of reach of most...
796The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$1,100.00
1895-O and 1895-S, both XF details/cleaned.
Details are equivalent for this pair of keys, both at the XF level, though 1895-S has the stronger reverse for sure. Unfortunately, both coins are rather heavily cleaned and definitely too bright to...
797The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$400.00
1895-O PCGS XF-40.
The grade is immediately verified by surprisingly noticeable luster on both sides, as well as fairly sharp details that include some breast feathers on the reverse. A dash of rim toning has begun to...
915The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$575.00
1895-O AU details/scratched.
The "scratch" noted at 11:00 of the reverse is more of a small gouge and just prominent enough to make inclusion in a slab unlikely. If not for that, the strong luster and barely worn details would...
916The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$825.00
1895-O NGC AU-53.
Circulation to the tune of seven points has certainly been kind in terms of abrasions, since both sides are remarkably smooth and utterly devoid of even moderate contact marks. Just a little...
629The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$425.00
1895-O XF/cleaned.
It is in the about-uncirculated range that the 1895-O Morgan dollar takes over (from the 1895-S) as the more difficult branch issue of the date, but because this example falls just shy of that...
646The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$450.00
1895-O VG and 1895-S Good.
Both of these are original grey coins, the 1895-O grades VG-8, and the 1895-S is a just-barely-there G-4. Two coin lot.
647The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$850.00
1895-O PCGS AU-50.
Steam-grey patina rests lazily atop the highpoint details, contrasting pleasantly with iron-grey coloration in the fields. While half the remaining luster on the obverse just meets the requirements...
648The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$925.00
1895-O AU.
Brief perusal of price guides show 1895-O as a Morgan dollar issue that is already pricey in AU-50, and outrageously expensive in MS-60. In fact, it has by far one of the largest spreads between any...
1009The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$975.00
1895-O and 1895-S.
Marvelous original surface quality plays a large role in the outstanding numismatic appeal of these 1895 issues. The 1895-O is graded NGC VF-30 and seems a touch nicer than implied by the grade,...
1010The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$425.00
1895-O XF.
Remaining luster on the reverse suggests at least an XF-40 grade, with the possibility of a slight bump in premium due to much remaining sharp detail. The eagle's breast feathers and the curl above...
1011The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$850.00
1895-O PCGS AU-53.
Obverse luster is more than adequate for the AU-53 grade, but the reverse carries a rather heavy load of golden tone, suppressing the important cartwheel effect to some degree. While each side bears...
801The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$575.00
1895-O VF.
A Morgan dollar cannot be more original than this! The perfect ash-grey patina is agreeably complemented with darker accents in the recessed areas. Some shallow and insignificant old circulation...
802The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$380.00
1895-O XF/cleaned.
A little pasty white, and definitely showing hairlines in the obverse fields. The reverse is perhaps overly white as well, but displays much cartwheel luster.
732The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$310.00
1895-O VF.
With only 450,000 struck, this is a sought-after branch mint issue within the Morgan dollar series. It displays a light pewter-silver aspect and an original state of preservation for its assigned...
733The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$475.00
1895-O XF.
Adequate mint luster immediately suggests a grade of XF-45, and there are no major detractions to deduct from that assessment. This coin has the detail and the appearance that would allow it to slide...
734The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$425.00
1895-O XF details, cleaned.
It is instantly apparent that something is odd about the luster, and under a loupe, the effects of whizzing become obvious. The "flowlines" are entirely wrong, and the coin does not possess any...
735The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$18,750.00
1895-O NGC MS-61.
Iron-grey accents touch all of the highpoints on Liberty's and the eagle's portrait, and emboldens the lettering with contrast against the typically silvered fields. Typical of New Orleans dollars,...
738The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$340.00
1895-O Morgan dollar VF-25
A thin veil of pale grey patina clings to both sides of this key issue. Problem free, with a few trifling handling marks, as is typical of the grade.
739The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$650.00
1895-O Morgan dollar AU-55
Although the combination of a very good strike and only brief circulation permits most of the intended detail to remain, past dips have unfortunately stripped away a majority of the remaining luster. ...
740The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$2,450.00
1895-O Morgan dollar, PCGS AU-58
Obviously prooflike when struck, time spent in circulation was not sufficient to erase all the mirrored quality of the fields, especially in those areas protected by high relief details, and the cameo...
846The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$360.00
1895-O VF-30.
This date is most often encountered in circulated condition and was not a component of the dollar bag releases from the Treasury reserves. Some marks are strewn over its light silvery surfaces, and...
847The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$550.00
1895-O PCI XF-40.
No doubt this piece was in circulation for only an abbreviated period. Its sharper in design definition than similar specimens at this assigned grade level. Retention of ample luster gives it an...
848The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$390.00
1895-O XF-40.
Widely recognized as a key to the series, the 1895-O has seen large advances in value over the past several years. The present example has perfect XF-40 detail and surface quality that is...
849The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$500.00
1895-O XF-45.
Telltale signs of original mint luster are noticeably present at the margins of the obverse, while the reverse displays even more obvious cartwheel luster. A pale silver semi-key coin that is...
850The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$900.00
1895-O AU-53.
Here is an extremely original key date Morgan dollar that has never been evenly remotely cleaned, and is obviously absolutely top-notch for the grade of AU-55. Although just shy of being a commercial...
851The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$950.00
1895-O NGC AU-53.
Although the reverse looks fully AU-55+, with hard, sharp cartwheel luster, less glimmering mint luster on the obverse refutes the higher grade. Struck a bit flat above ear, as usual, and toned in...
852The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$2,500.00
1895-O PCGS AU-58.
A vibrant array of silver and gold iridescence is projected from the reflective surfaces of this desirable New Orleans issue. It depicts above average design details with just a moderate amount of...

1895-O PCGS XF-40.
This lot offers an important New Orleans Branch Mint issue that is attractively toned in a light silver aspect. No visually detracting marks or blemishes are discerned. It is a well-defined example...

1895-O XF-45.
An alluring example of this desirable New Orleans issue. Although conservatively ascribed as a high-end Extremely Fine specimen, it retains an amount of luster equivalent to the majority of those...
842The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$925.00
1895-O NGC AU-53.
Some trace luster remains around the peripheries and protected areas of this solid, steel gray AU. With only 450,000 total coins minted, it is the second smallest recorded mintage for a New Orleans...
843The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$2,800.00
1895-O NGC AU-58.
In the context of coins struck from this southern branch mint, only Morgans dated 1893 from New Orleans feature a lower recorded silver dollar mintage than the 1895-O. This is a key date in any...
849The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$750.00
1895-O and 1895-S Morgan Silver Dollars. VF-30.
Both of these coins are tougher to come by, especially unmolested like these two. They are totally original and free of distractions. The wear is smooth, even, and minimal for the grade.
850The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$380.00
1895-O VF-25.
Original mint luster can be observed on both the obverse and reverse of this tougher date Morgan Dollar. There is a mark on the cheek, but it is not too distracting.

1895-O XF-40.
This coin has solid XF detail and original mint luster. There is a mark on the cheek that is worth mentioning, but not very distracting.
852The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$550.00
1895-O AU-50.
The superlative peripheral russet toning framing the central design elements of this issue provides it with a handsome rustic aspect. A total mintage of only 450,000 makes this a highly prized date...
741The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$1,550.00
1895-O XF-45.
This is a relatively white coin with speckled indigo on the obverse. The reverse has one dime-sized toned area, but the rest is white. There is plenty of original mint luster left on this better...
742The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$935.00
1895-O AU.
Gunmetal gray surfaces, a descent strike, minimal wear, zero distractions, and rolling luster all make this tougher-to-find dollar a real winner.
743The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$1,950.00
1895-O AU-55.
The obverse has mottled turquoise tones on top of russet patina. The reverse has like russet patina and steel gray surfaces. Only minimal wear holds this tougher date dollar back from being Mint...

1895-O AU-55.
This desirable New Orleans issue was from a total mintage of 450,000, with most being placed into circulation. It depicts a light scattering of unobtrusive hairlines. The scintillating, lustrous...

1895-O ANACS XF-40 DETAILS CLEANED.

1895-O NGC XF-45.
