详细说明: 1898-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-67 PL (NGC). This sharply struck example is fully brilliant to allow ready appreciation of modest reflective tendencies in the fields. The history of the 1898-O Morgan dollar is similar to that of the more widely promoted 1903-O. From the year of striking nearly into the middle of the 20th century the 1898-O was a phantom among silver dollars, especially in Mint State. It is likely that much of the mintage was included among the 270,232,722 silver dollars destroyed in 1918 under provisions of the Pittman Act. The availability of the 1898-O in Mint State did not change until the silver dollar releases of the early 1960s. And change it did, in dramatic fashion. Thousands of 1898-O dollars, along with 1903-O, 1904-O, and other dates were released. The eventual number of 1,000-coin bags involved is unknown but obviously substantial given the fact that the 1898-O is among the most plentiful Morgan dollars in Mint State. As one of the finest known to NGC in the PL category, this glorious Superb Gem is well suited for an advanced Morgan dollar collection. NGC Census: 5; 2 finer in this category (MS-68 PL finest).
