Classic Morgan silver dollars are popular additions to any collection, especially beautiful Very Choice Uncirculated pieces with full mint luster and great eye appeal. Now, you can own an example bearing the “O” mint mark of New Orleans, struck over 135 years ago! Silver dollars were the only coins produced at the New Orleans Mint in 1885. And after they were struck, many were stored away for decades in mint-sealed bags until the 1960s, when the coins were released by the U.S. Treasury, creating the “great silver dollar stampede.”
This 1885-O Morgan was struck the same year President Chester A. Arthur dedicated the Washington Monument and the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor. And since these issues were stored in their original mint-sealed bags until the Treasury release, today you can own this shining tribute to America’s past, presented in a protective holder.
