1895-O $1

Coin / United States of America / 1895 / New Orleans / Morgan Dollars / $1 (One Dollar)

The 1895 date is sought after among Morgan dollars regardless of its mint of origin or strike type. That is surely the case with this O-mint Morgan, which is scarce in any circulated grade and rare in uncirculated condition. Only a handful of Gems are known, and these all trade for huge premiums, with a few MS66s and MS67s known. PLs and DMPLs are about equally rare, and no examples of either are known in MS65 or better.
