The “O” mint mark sits below the wreath on the reverse, identifying its Louisiana origin. Designed by George T. Morgan, the coin carries the classic Liberty portrait on the obverse and the familiar eagle clutching arrows and olive branch on the reverse.
This particular example has been graded PCGS MS-63 Sight White, indicating a mint-state coin with strong eye appeal due to its bright, fully white surfaces and minimal contact marks. The “Sight White” designation confirms that a coin has blast-white surfaces, which are very popular with collectors of Morgan dollars.
At MS-63, the coin shows typical light abrasions in the fields and slight weakness on Liberty’s cheek and the eagle’s breast feathers—common for the issue—yet retains sharp detail and crisp luster. It is an original 1890-O Morgan that stands out for its brilliant, unmarked appearance rather than extreme rarity or technical perfection.
