The 1888-O $1 Morgan Silver Dollar, minted at the New Orleans branch, embodies the artistry of George T. Morgan's design, featuring Liberty's profile on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. Struck from 90% silver, this issue totaled over 12 million coins, making it common yet prized in high grades, such as this offering from AU Capital Management.
PCGS has graded 15 as MS66 Prooflike, with a mere 2 finer. Certified MS-66 by PCGS, this specimen achieves gem uncirculated status with vibrant luster and minimal marks. The Prooflike designation highlights its mirror-like fields, a trait from early-die strikes, enhancing its visual appeal. "Sight White" indicates pristine, white toning without distracting colors, preserving the coin's original brilliance.
Valued for its scarcity in top tiers, this coin commands premiums among numismatists. Historically, Morgan dollars from New Orleans are poorly struck due to overusing dies. However, Prooflike examples are the cream of the crop of that mint, for they can be simply stunning! Ideal for type sets or date collectors, it offers historical allure tied to the Gilded Age.
