1888-O $1

Coin / United States of America / 1888 / New Orleans / Morgan Dollars / $1 (One Dollar)

The 1888-O Morgan dollar is a popular New Orleans Mint coin, one that is quite common in circulated grades and widely available in MS grades through MS65. It becomes rare in MS66 or higher, and such is the case for PLs and DMPLs, which are extremely challenging in the Gem levels.
