Description

1880-O Morgan Silver Dollar – Micro "O" Mint Mark – Brilliant Uncirculated (BU)


Item Details:

  • Type: U.S. Morgan Silver Dollar
  • Year: 1880
  • Mint Mark: Micro "O" (New Orleans Mint)
  • Composition: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
  • Weight: Approximately 26.73 grams
  • Diameter: 38.1 mm
  • Obverse Design: A left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap and agricultural wreaths symbolizing liberty and unity. The phrase “E PLURIBUS UNUM” encircles the top, framed by 13 stars representing the original colonies and the year "1880" at the bottom.
  • Reverse Design: A majestic eagle with outstretched wings clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace. The Micro "O" mint mark, located beneath the wreath, is a distinct feature of this variety. Surrounding inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”

Condition:
This coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, showcasing a stunning, original mint luster. The strike is sharp, with well-defined details on Liberty's hair, the eagle's feathers, and wreath elements. Some minor contact marks are present, consistent with storage, but do not detract from its overall eye appeal. Light peripheral toning adds character to this historical piece.


Special Notes:
The 1880-O Morgan Dollar with the Micro "O" mint mark is a standout variety in the Morgan series. Its Brilliant Uncirculated condition and rarity make it a centerpiece for advanced collectors. Coins of this caliber are seldom encountered, and the unique minting history ensures its desirability as both a historical artifact and an investment piece.
