1893-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC.Beautiful Choice Mint State quality for this key date entry in the Morgan dollar series. Highly lustrous satin to softly frosted surfaces are brilliant with a lively ice white appearance. Striking detail is sharp overall with suitably bold definition to the troublesome central high points. At just 300,000 coins struck the 1893-O is the lowest mintage New Orleans Mint Morgan dollar. Apart from limited releases from the Cash Room of the Treasury Department Building from 1948 through 1955, this issue has never entered numismatic channels in quantity. By the late 1950s, in fact, the scarcity of the 1893-O in Mint State was already an established fast in the rare coin market, which conclusion was reinforced by the absence of this issue in the Treasury Department releases of 1962 to 1964.
