1880-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-65 (NGC). Here is a remarkably well preserved example of this leading condition rarity from the earliest years of the Morgan dollar series. Wisps of iridescent pinkish-apricot toning are evident around the peripheries, the surfaces otherwise brilliant and frosty. Sharply struck and lustrous with very strong eye appeal for an issue that is typically offered no finer than MS-64.<p>Although not widely represented in the Treasury Department silver dollar releases of 1962 to 1964, enough 1880-O Morgan dollars were released in earlier years to make this a readily obtainable issue in all but the finest Mint State grades. However, as a certified Gem, the 1880-O is the scarcest Morgan dollar issue produced up to that point in time. With only a handful of coins graded finer (all at PCGS), this attractive MS-65 represents the finest realistically obtainable grade for most collectors. From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
