1894-O Morgan Dollar, NGC Uncirculated Details

Description: 1894-O Morgan dollar, NGC Uncirculated-Details (Cleaned) as authenticated / graded / encapsulated by NGC. The 1894-O is a condition rarity, as you can see online or in a U.S. coin pricing guide book; circulated specimens are easier to acquire, but the price starts to climb at AU grades and goes into four figures (000s!) in all Uncirculated grades - from $1600 in "beat-up but UNC" MS-60 through five figures in MS-64+. Yep, the condition sets much of the value! It's why our business model is to get coins we offer authenticated / graded / encapsulated as a rule. Why clean an uncirculated coin? Believe it or not - and it is hard enough to - coin dealers and collectors were advised to clean their coins in the mid-20th century. It's just one of those professional knowledge bits that turned out to be wrong advice for the care of a coin that would be possessed and sustained across the centuries. Because of the subsequent, light toning, it looks like this 1894-O received some old cleaning long ago, sometime between the 1930s-1950s, at a guess based on when most 19th century coins were so conditioned. Many collectors and shoppers don't sweat the cleaning if it's light, as you do "buy the coin and not the slab" and what cannot be restored is wear through circulation. This provides a cost-saving opportunity for you, as "details" grades go for somewhere along 70% - 30% the price of a coin with a firm equivalent grade. We are pleased to make this opportunity available. Shipped with signature tracking for your added assurance.
