1898-O Morgan Silver Dollar – NGC MS65
Add a beautiful Gem Mint State example of a classic New Orleans Morgan Dollar to your collection with this 1898-O Morgan Silver Dollar, certified NGC MS65. Struck at the New Orleans Mint, the 1898-O had a mintage of 4,440,000 coins and is a popular issue for collectors assembling a Morgan Dollar date-and-mintmark set.
Graded Mint State 65 (MS65) by NGC, this coin is fully uncirculated and offers excellent overall preservation, attractive mint luster, and strong eye appeal. An MS65 represents a Gem-quality example, with only minor contact marks or abrasions expected for the grade.
The 1898-O is an interesting issue because large quantities were held in Treasury reserves and later released during the mid-20th century. As a result, the date is relatively available in Mint State, including through MS66, while higher grades become considerably more elusive.
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 distinctive “O” mintmark identifies this coin as a product of the historic New Orleans Mint.
Struck in 90% silver, the Morgan Dollar weighs 26.73 grams and contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver.
Combining classic Morgan Dollar artistry, New Orleans Mint history, and a desirable NGC MS65 grade, this coin is an excellent addition to a Morgan Dollar collection, date-and-mintmark set, or classic U.S. silver collection.
