<B>1895-O<img border='0' src='http://www.heritagecoins.com/images/star.gif' width=10 height=10>$1> MS60 ANACS.</B></I> While most 1895-O dollars went into storage and were melted later, David Bowers, in his <I>Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States,</B></I> suggests that: "... probably well over 100,000 were placed into circulation." With a mintage of 450,000 pieces, the '95-O is one of the great rarities in the Morgan dollar series. Additionally, it is very scarce in Mint State with just a couple of hundred of coins known in strict Mint State.<BR> This coin is typically struck with incomplete definition over the ear on the obverse and breast feathers on the eagle. The bright, satiny surfaces display just the slightest trace of golden patina. There are a number of grade limiting marks on each side.
