1886-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-62 (PCGS).This richly toned example exhibits blended pearl gray, silver-mauve, rose-russet and cobalt blue patina to both sides. Sharply struck, as befits the issue, with an uncommonly smooth appearance in hand for the assigned grade. The 1886-O is one of the scarcer early date Morgan dollars in Mint State. Most of the 10,710,000-piece mintage was likely melted under the terms of the 1918 Pittman Act, releases of examples from government storage being limited and sporadic from the 1940s through the early to mid 1960s.
