This is the die use report for November 1896 by the New Orleans Mint.

What does 'Condemned' mean in the Remarks column?

Coin has been cut after it was made. The X under the eagles chin is serious damage - it will reduce the value to not much more than melt - if any.

Would these 9s on my 1899 O be considered open or closed? Thanks!!

I am interpreting this mint mark as O over CC. Is there any disagreement? Thanks!!

Thanks for all the great replies. Here are additional images of the 1884 O Morgan. I will investigate the VAMs that mention filled mint marks.

Regards!
