Description

# 1892-O Morgan Dollar - PCGS MS63. A classic New Orleans Mint Morgan Dollar from the popular pre-1900 silver dollar series, this 1892-O Silver Dollar represents an important year in the Morgan Dollar's production history. Struck at the New Orleans Mint with a mintage of 2,744,000 pieces, this specimen offers collectors a well-preserved example of a characteristic late 19th-century silver dollar. Graded PCGS MS63, this coin exhibits the typical characteristics of 1892-O Morgan Dollars - notably flat striking details and moderate bag marks consistent with the issue's minting challenges. The coin features George T. Morgan's iconic design in 90% silver, with typical New Orleans Mint production nuances. Most 1892-O dollars are known for poor striking quality, with minimal detail on Liberty's ear and eagle's breast feathers, making this example a representative specimen of the mint's output. Population data indicates this is among the 3,220 higher-grade examples out of 3,362 total graded by PCGS, placing it in a desirable condition tier. The coin's technical specifications include a weight of 26.73g, 38.1mm diameter, and reeded edge. Historically notable, this issue was part of significant Treasury releases in the 1960s, with substantial quantities emerging from government vaults, making it relatively accessible to collectors.
