What XF40 means
An 1885-O Morgan dollar in Extremely Fine (XF-40) has light wear on the high points and nowhere else: the eagle’s individual wing and breast feathers and the leaves of the wreath survive except where the hair above Liberty’s ear and the cotton bolls in her cap have just begun to flatten, and traces of mint lustre often remain in the protected areas beside the devices.
A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade XF-40, EF40 or EF-40. They are the same grade and the same 1885-O Morgan dollar.
Where this grade sits
The grades an 1885-O Morgan dollar is given run from PO1 to MS70. One step up from XF40 is Extremely Fine (XF-45). In general terms, the higher the grade the more the coin is worth.

What it sold for
No certified sale of an 1885-O Morgan dollar in XF40 is recorded in the sources this site reads, which is what you would expect at this price: certifying a coin costs a large share of what this one is worth, so almost all of them change hands raw and unrecorded. The range above is what the published guides say rather than what anybody paid, and it is the weakest figure on this page.
