Desirable Low Mintage 1893-O Morgan Dollar 1893-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-63 (PCGS). OGH. Dusted with light silvery tinting, this handsome piece also exhibits warmer golden-apricot iridescence at the borders. Well struck for this challenging issue, most features are fully rendered while the problematic central high points show emerging to bold detail. Billowy mint frost blankets both sides and rounds out an impressive list of physical attributes for this key date Morgan dollar. At just 300,000 coins struck the 1893-O is the lowest mintage New Orleans Mint Morgan dollar. Apart from limited releases from the Cash Room of the Treasury Department Building from 1948 through 1955, this issue has never entered numismatic channels in quantity. By the late 1950s, in fact, the scarcity of the 1893-O in Mint State was already an established fact in the rare coin market, which conclusion was reinforced by the absence of this issue in the Treasury Department releases of 1962 to 1964. Poorly produced and preserved, as an issue, the collector who is fortunate enough to locate an Uncirculated example in today's market is apt to be viewing an aesthetically unappealing coin in the MS-60 to MS-62 range. With sharply struck Gems all but unknown, the few well struck, lustrous and overall smooth MS-63s and MS-64s known to PCGS and NGC represent the finest realistically obtainable for this issue as far as most Morgan dollar enthusiasts are concerned. This is just such a coin, and it is sure to see spirited bidding. PCGS# 7224. NGC ID: 255T. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
