1900-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC.

Sharply struck, highly lustrous and virtually pristine, this brilliant Superb Gem would serve as a highlight in the finest Morgan dollar set. As with so many issues in the Morgan dollar series, the 12,590,000 coins struck at the New Orleans Mint in 1900 were not needed in commercial channels at the time. Most examples were relegated to long term storage in government vaults. By the 1950s enough pieces had found their way into numismatic circles that the 1900-O was already regarded as a plentiful issue in Mint State. During the early 1960s thousands more emerged from storage in the Philadelphia Mint, making the 1900-O one of the most common Morgan dollars in today's market. Virtually pristine examples such as this remain rare from a condition standpoint, however, since the vast majority of examples were roughly handled by government employees during transit and storage. A find for the discerning Morgan dollar enthusiast who will accept nothing but the best for their collection.
