1893-O $1 MS64 PCGS
<B>1893-O $1 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> Dave Bowers, in his <I>Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States </B></I>(2006), reminds us that the "1893-O dollar is the lowest mintage New Orleans Morgan dollar. Specimens are somewhat scarce in all grades and very rare in high Mint State levels. Probably, few collectors have ever become excited about an 1893-O dollar, as most are lightly struck, and all are expensive. However, a really attractive 1893-O can be a real pleasure to own." The last sentence pertains directly to the current coin, which is a technical MS64 with the eye appeal of a Gem. This is particularly important in that the value of an 1893-O dollar in MS65 is currently over ten times that of an MS64 example. Vivacious luster dances atop surfaces that display an attractive semiprooflikeness and, when combined with the relatively nice strike and clean fields, combine to make this a memorable 1893-O dollar. Population: 82 in 64, 7 finer (12/07).<BR><I>From The Motor City Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
