Is this a Real or counterfeit Morgan Dollar 1899-o?
Hi guys
So i found this really nice looking 1899-o Morgan Dollar...
I would be really thankful if someone can help me confirm if this is the real deal or not - 1899-o Morgan Dollar ?
To me it looks good, and its from an really old collection. Though i am still not 100% sure if its genuine, since Morgans is not my area normaly and what i collect in US coins.
Thanks in advance for any help :)

Looks legit from what I see; I would weigh it if possible.

This might be a legit 1899-O Morgan Silver Dollar, there is a Micro-O variety, but this one looks like it does not feature it.

Thank you for the replies and info guys!
Thing is, i do not have the coin in my hands yet. Its from a local auction here in Sweden.
Ive bought other coins in the past from the same seller that was 100% legit. I just thought it looked way to "good" with barely any contact marks. I guess sometimes you are just lucky to stumble upon some really nice Morgan Dollars

Also this. Im currently trying to learn more about Morgan VAM varieties. I noticed there are a few differnt VAM's for 1899-o, so i will be trying to identify it if its anything over the ordinary with the coin.Iceresistance wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 2:09 pm This might be a legit 1899-O Morgan Silver Dollar, there is a Micro-O variety, but this one looks like it does not feature it.

Looks to be very much real, but would have to weight it to be sure. as for Varities/VAMs, This site is probably your best resource... VAM World 2.0 It's sort of the goto site for VAMs...
