1895-O PCGS graded Genuine Unc Details. Altered Surfaces. Well struck with light gray toning. Clearly elusive in strictly Uncirculated condition, the 1895-O is one of the few issues in the Morgan dollar series that approaches the rarity in Mint State of the legendary 1892-S and 1893-S in higher grades. All the necessary conditions for an attractive, high grade dollar seem to have conspired against the 1895-O. The typical coin shows indifferent luster, numerous abrasions, or a weak strike. This exceedingly smooth-surfaced coin has a fine, satiny, indeed a beautiful metallic sheen over both sides. Libertys cheek is also smooth and free of contact with other coins, with the exception of a single almost microscopic tic at the jaw. The coin is almost fully struck with only the faintest bit of weakness evident over the ear of Liberty where two hair strands merge, hardly significant! The eagle's breast feathers are fully defined and again, this side being free of bagging like the obverse, is almost pristine looking. The combination of great eye appeal, strong historic associations, and impressive detail should attract eager bidders
