<B>1893-O<img border='0' src='http://www.heritagecoins.com/images/star.gif' width=10 height=10>$1> MS64 PCGS.</B></I> Dazzling luster and a trace of gold patina ensure the eye appeal of this charming Choice silver dollar. The strike is good considering the mint and era of origin, and the distributed minor obverse grazes are insufficient to challenge the grade. The reverse field is well preserved, and the eagle's breast is void of obtrusive marks. This piece is mildly prooflike, a feature rarely noted on the 1893-O, which has the lowest New Orleans production of the type. Among O-mint issues, only the 1895-O is scarcer overall. The purpose behind the 1879 re-opening of the New Orleans Mint was to strike silver dollars. During the quarter century of O-mint Morgan dollar coinage, mintages usually exceeded millions of pieces. The 1893-O and 1895-O were the exceptions. Population: 79 in 64, 9 finer (9/06).
