1897-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-64 (PCGS).；The complexion of this delightful New Orleans scarcity is largely brilliant save for a faint vanilla iridescence apparent in the right conditions. Handsomely pronounced for the issue, the central elements are nicely defined on each side leaving just a trifle softness to the stars at the lower left obverse. The surfaces are remarkably smooth and unblemished throughout, offering a serene complexion that undoubtedly flirts with Gem preservation. <p>Though struck to a quantity of 4,004,000 coins, the 1897-O is impressively scarce in grades above MS-63. Comparatively few bags came to market throughout in the Treasury releases of the mid 20th century, and even these uncirculated examples were plagued by bag marks and other evidence of mishandling. PCGS has certified just 16 coins finer than the present specimen, asserting the exclusive nature of this MS-64 example.
