1897-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-63 (PCGS).Minimally toned in pale gold, this pleasing example also sports sharp striking detail and bountiful mint luster, both of which qualities are significant in a survivor of this challenging New Orleans Mint issue. The 1897-O is a notable rarity at MS-63 or finer despite its mintage of slightly more than four million pieces; the Guide Book value for the issue escalates dramatically at this level. A perennially popular semi-key date issue, the present example is choice for the grade and worthy of serious bidder consideration.
