878The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$925.00
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...
879The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$853.00
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...
880The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$875.00
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. ...
881The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$1,410.00
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...
820The 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. ...
997The 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.
998The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$1,150.00
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...
765The 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...
887The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$150.00
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...
888The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$675.00
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...
788The 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...
789The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$2,300.00
1886-O PCGS MS-63.
The PCGS MS-63 grade represents an interesting marriage of compromises for this 1886-O Morgan dollar, an issue that is notorious for poorly produced examples. For those familiar with the series, the...
611The 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...
676The 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...
677The 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.
784The 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...
781The 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...
782The 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...
785The 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...
