- Extraordinary Strike and Condition Rarity 1879-O Dollar
1879-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-65 DPL (NGC).
Extremely beautiful surfaces are fully brilliant with a deeply cameoed finish. The design elements are heavily frosted, sharply struck, and set against a backdrop of deep reflectivity in the fields. Production of the 1879-O marked the reopening of the New Orleans Mint following the Civil War. With a mintage of 2,887,000 examples, this issue is readily available overall thanks to the storage and eventual release of thousands of Mint State coins. According to Q. David Bowers in his 1993 silver dollar encyclopedia, the largest releases came in 1957 (five to ten bags) and during the early 1960s (multiple 1,000-coin bags). As with many Morgan dollars, however, the 1879-O is rare in the finest Mint State grades. PL and DMPL/DPL examples are elusive in all grades, making this Gem Deep Mirror Prooflike example a rarity. Indeed, it is one of the most impressive 1879-O Morgan dollars that we have offered in recent sales, and is sure to appeal to discerning bidders.
