1893-O Morgan $1 PCGS MS64
<b>1893-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS64.</b> Attractive light gray with russet gold toning on both sides. A light hairline on the cheek. Frosty and well preserved, the relatively smooth surfaces would settle for nothing less than the Mint State 64 grade. Devices were struck with the primary energy to impart the design to the outer areas but not with enough get-up-and-go by the dies to impart clear-cut centers. This is a well-known trait of the rare 1893-O and has been considered by the grading service when arriving at the grade.

The 1893-O dollar has the lowest mintage figure for any New Orleans silver dollar of the Morgan series, 300,000. A few bags were paid out at face value from the Cash Room of the Treasury Building from about 1948 to 1955, according to Bowers in his impressive encyclopedia of silver dollars &#40;highly recommended to anyone who collects these&#41;. These may have been released a few coins at a time, rather than in intact 1,000-coin bags. This was the basis for dealer&#39;s stocks for years, but there is no record of bags of 1893-O released in the 1962-64 Treasury group.
