1880-O Morgan Silver Dollar New Orleans Mint
This 1880-O Morgan Silver Dollar is a highly sought-after specimen from the second year of production at the New Orleans Mint. With a mintage of 5,305,000, it is notably scarcer than the Philadelphia and San Francisco issues of the same year. This specific date is famous among numismatists for its overdate varieties (such as the 80/79) and its typically "greasy" or satiny luster, a signature of the New Orleans facility during this era. Unlike many Morgans that were stored in Treasury bags, the 1880-O was largely released into direct circulation, making specimens with high-grade technical details and minimal surface chatter significantly more valuable. This coin features the iconic George T. Morgan design of Lady Liberty and the heraldic eagle. Please refer to the high-resolution photos to evaluate the strike depth and whether this piece exhibits the coveted overdate features.
