<B>1893-O $1 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> Like the San Francisco Mint, the facility at New Orleans coined silver dollars dated 1893 only in January of that year. The mintage of 300,000 pieces experienced considerable attrition, with few examples surviving unscathed. Q. David Bowers, in his <I>A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars</B></I>, is unusually direct about the issue, starting its entry with the following sentence: "If you like a challenge, the 1893-O presents one."<BR> Many Mint State 1893-O dollars suffer from weak strikes and dull luster. While this rose-tinged silver-white coin shows a degree of highpoint softness, its luster is uncommonly potent, and the overall visual appeal is impressive. Liberty's cheek is clean, and the surfaces show more luster grades than actual marks. Anything finer is highly elusive; PCGS has graded only seven such pieces (2/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
