1883-O Morgan Silver Dollar New Orleans Mint
The 1883-O Morgan Silver Dollar is a classic representation of the New Orleans Mint's high-volume output during the early 1880s. With a mintage of 8,725,000, it is a common date, but it remains a "condition rarity" in higher uncirculated grades. New Orleans strikes from this year are notoriously variable; many specimens exhibit the "soft" or "weak" strike typical of the facility, often lacking detail in the eagle's breast feathers and the hair above Liberty's ear.
