This popular O-mint Morgan dollar is widely available in circulated grades and even up through MS65, growing incrementally scarcer with each grade point above that. It seems this issue fared better strike wise than many other New Orleans dollars, which often come soft in the strike. MS67s are very scarce and the handful of survivors above that are extremely rare. PLs and DMPLs are scarcer than their typical MS counterparts for this issue but are not necessarily rare except above the grade of a straight MS65.
