  • Year: 1883
  • Mint: New Orleans (denoted by the "O" mintmark)
  • Design: Features Lady Liberty on the obverse and a bald eagle with outstretched wings on the reverse.
  • Material: Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper.

Condition

This coin exhibits signs of light wear, with minor abrasions and some small areas of toning, particularly around the obverse's central details. Notably, a few contact marks are visible, which is common for Morgan Dollars from circulation. The luster remains prominent, showcasing its silver brilliance despite its age. Any wear present is consistent with the grade range for collectible Morgan Dollars.

Provenance/History

The 1883-O Morgan Dollar is part of the iconic Morgan Dollar series, minted from 1878 to 1904 and then again in 1921. The New Orleans Mint produced fewer Morgan Dollars than other mints, adding a layer of rarity to this coin. Known for its beautiful eagle and Liberty designs, it holds a place of pride among American coinage enthusiasts.

Special Notes

  • Collector's Note: The Morgan Dollar series is highly revered in numismatics for its historical significance and striking design. The New Orleans-minted coins are particularly desirable for collectors due to their limited production and distinct "O" mintmark.
  • Investment Potential: Silver coins like this Morgan Dollar not only have historical appeal but also intrinsic value due to their silver content.
