1895-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-62 (PCGS).Offered is an outstanding strike and condition rarity for the key date 1895-O Morgan silver dollar. Both sides are dusted with pale silver iridescence, the left obverse border further enhanced by blushes of iridescent reddish-apricot and powder blue. Striking detail is bold to sharp throughout and certainly superior to that seen in the typical example, which can be quite blunt in the centers. A full endowment of frosty mint luster rounds out an impressive list of physical attributes.<p>With a mere 450,000 coins struck the 1895-O boasts one of the lowest mintages among circulation strike Morgan dollars. Most examples were retained in federal vaults and melted later, although more than 100,000 pieces probably entered commercial channels and account for the typically encountered worn survivor in todays market. Mint State coins have always been elusive in numismatic circles, and when offered at all are apt to display poor striking quality and/or unattractive surfaces. This is a truly impressive example at the assigned grade level that is worthy of the strongest bids.
