Description
Sharply Struck Gem 1891-O Dollar
1891-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS).
The definition in the centers sets this coin apart from the vast majority of 1891-O Morgan dollars extant. It is sharply struck elsewhere and offers brilliant satin luster throughout. An exceptional coin is this grade. The 1891-O has a generous mintage of 7,954,529 pieces and, thanks also to the dispersal of large numbers of examples from federal storage in earlier decades, it is a plentiful issue in terms of total number of Mint State coins known. The vast majority of survivors are poorly struck and aesthetically unappealing, however, so much so that the major certification services will usually not assign a grade higher than MS-64 based on striking quality alone. Sharp in the centers and also exceptionally well preserved, it is little wonder that this Condition Census premium Gem ranks among the finest seen by PCGS.
PCGS# 7208. NGC ID: 255J.
PCGS Population: 38; 3 finer in this category (all MS-66).
