1892-O Morgan Silver Dollar – PCGS AU50
Add a classic New Orleans Mint Morgan Dollar to your collection with this 1892-O Morgan Silver Dollar, certified PCGS AU50. With a mintage of just 2,744,000 coins, the 1892-O is one of the lower-mintage Morgan Dollars and an appealing issue for collectors assembling a complete date-and-mintmark set.
Graded About Uncirculated 50 (AU50) by PCGS, this coin displays light circulation wear while retaining strong overall detail and much of its original character. AU50 offers an excellent balance between preservation, affordability, and collector appeal.
The 1892-O is particularly interesting because many examples are known for weak strikes, especially in the central areas of the design. PCGS notes that sharply struck examples are considerably more desirable, while typical specimens can show softness around Liberty's ear and a lack of detail in the eagle's breast feathers.
Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features Liberty wearing her iconic Phrygian cap, while the reverse showcases a majestic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch. The “O” mintmark beneath the wreath identifies this coin as a product of the historic New Orleans Mint.
Struck in 90% silver, the Morgan Dollar contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver. Combining a low-mintage New Orleans issue with an attractive PCGS AU50 grade, this coin is an excellent addition to any Morgan Dollar collection.
