The 1902-O Morgan dollar is a tougher date, with circulated examples proving a little difficult to find and uncirculated pieces widely available in the MS65 to MS66 range. There is a small number of MS67s and pieces grading higher available, and these predictably take huge sums when offered for sale. Like many other New Orleans Mint dollars, the 1902-O is not always very well struck and luster can be iffy, causing many pieces to grade below the Gem threshold. PLs are challenging but obtainable, while DMPLs are rare.
