1894-O AU-55. 1894-O AU-55.
Lot Title: 1894-O AU-55.
Description: This AU+ New Orleans Dollar is bright white, full of luster, and problem free. There are a few marks, but they are commensurate for the grade.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $160.00
High Estimate: $240.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.
Hammered Price: $200.00
Price Realized: $230.00

Price history for items of the same classification:
Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
931The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$3,800.00
1894-O PCGS MS-63.
Checkered Collection. While not as extreme as its 1895-O successor, the 1894-O is subject to wild swings in value above the AU level, and good luck trying to improve upon the present MS-63. Pristine...
848The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$400.00
1894-O NGC AU-55, and an 1896-O NGC AU-58.
Better AU grades enhance the "bang for the buck" value of this pair of tougher New Orleans dollars. 1894-O shimmers with frosty grey patina and a dabble of purple toning on the eagle's breast. The...
849The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$450.00
1894-O NGC AU-55, and an 1896-O NGC AU-58.
Both New Orleans issues represent the interesting case of silver dollar issues common in lower grades, available in AU, but expensive at MS-60 and higher. 1894-O retains near-white surfaces with...
850The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$1,850.00
1894-O NGC MS-62.
Exceptionally bright, the surface displays the faintest hint of glossiness on either side, while strong luster flows readily through the fields. No singular quality appears to necessitate a downgrade...
932The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$320.00
Ten 1894-O, as described.
Roman Powers Collection. Quality varies significantly, as can be seen by the grade descriptions we suggest. They are listed in approximate descending numeric as follows: VF-20, VF/cleaned,...
933The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$1,150.00
1894-O NGC MS-61.
Dollar Davis Album Collection. Relatively difficult compared to the common pieces in the series, 1894-O nonetheless proves to be one of the most available coins in the "murderer's row" of very tough...
808The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$1,500.00
1894-O PCGS MS-62.
VAM-10 apparently, with doubling shown within the left branch of the wreath. Lustrous and hardly as abraded as one might expect of MS-62, the fields display only about as much contact as generally...
794The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$7,750.00
1894-O (VAM-4) PCGS MS-64.
1894-O is likely a little underrated in any better grade level, with population statistics at PCGS showing 272 graded MS-64, and a paltry 9 graded higher. Grade rarity indeed! That extra point...
912The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$850.00
1894-O AU, 1894-S AU, and 1928 silver dollars, all AU details/cleaned.
While plenty of luster remains evident for this trio of silver dollars, all are simply too bright to evade being labeled as "cleaned". They are listed as: 1894-O (AU+ details with spots), 1894-S...
913The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$210.00
1894-O ANACS AU-55.
Initial impression is very nearly that of an UNC coin, though a second glance discovers mild wear throughout. Luster is surprisingly complete through the fields, and one can easily call this high-end...
643The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$1,600.00
1894-O PCGS MS-62.
Stark white mint frost beams nicely with silvery brilliance, and the bicycle luster observed on this particular New Orleans issue provides a pleasing departure from the cartwheel luster normally...
1007The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$725.00
1894-O and 1901 NGC.
Grading consistency by NGC assures that this 1894-O (AU-53) and 1901 (AU-55) match up very well in appearance. AU is an affordable and popular grade level for these dates, as they rise considerably...
844The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$400.00
1894-O AU, 1896-O AU, and 1897-O AU.
1894-O is, of course, a semi-key of the series, and the present example grades a strong and flashy AU-50+. The 1896-O features practically uninterrupted sweeping luster and faintly abraded surfaces,...
845The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$210.00
1894-O AU-55.
The reverse of this off-white coin appears to be legitimately Mint State, but there is friction in the left obverse field, and the slightest hint of rub upon Liberty’s cheek. A dark spot at the top...
846The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$475.00
1894-O MS-61.
Rolling luster can be observed on both the obverse and reverse of this attractive Morgan Dollar. There are a few light marks in the fields, but they are not distracting.
739The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$525.00
1894-O MS-61.
This is a nice white coin with minimal marks and no distractions. There is a monster spread between MS-60 and MS-63, and this example may have an outside chance of grading higher.
740The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$625.00
1894-O NGC MS-61.
This cherished semi-key date has a satinlike vivaciousness. It is further embellished with a luxurious rose bloom. Minutely marked and lightly scuffed, and its reverse displays some delicate...
910The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$2,500.00
1894-O NGC MS-63.
An impressive issue with enhancing golden russet iridescent hues. An issue that is notoriously struck flat on the hair above Liberty's ear as well as the feathers on the Eagle's breast. The amount...
842The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$200.00
1894-O AU-55+.
An example of an upper level, slightly circulated specimen of this popular New Orleans Branch Mint issue. Rather decent design definition is observed. The contact marks seen are congruent for the...
843The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$195.00
1894-O NGC AU-58.
There is only the smallest amount of wear on the reverse that is keeping this coin from being an UNC. The obverse is fully lustrous and has a bit of light golden toning. The reverse is 99% white...
844The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$525.00
1894-O MS-60+ Cleaned.
This brilliant, white, and most desirable New Orleans Branch Mint issue is usually encountered in lower grades with weak design details. This particular satinlike specimen is described as being...
