The 1887-O Morgan Silver Dollar is a New Orleans Mint issue from the second year of significant oval “O” mintmark production. Struck during a period of heavy silver dollar output, most 1887-O coins were stored in Treasury bags, leading to typical heavy marks and abrasion. PCGS has graded 5,661 as MS63 with 4,108 finer.
This example, graded PCGS MS-63 Sight White, stands out for its unusually clean surfaces and strong visual appeal. The “Sight White” designation indicates brilliant, unmarked white surfaces with no toning, spots, or haze—while light rub or bag chatter usually prevents most from reaching higher uncirculated grades.
Strike quality is average for the issue, with slight softness on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s breast feathers, yet the luster remains bright and cartwheel. At MS-63, it offers far better eye appeal than the typical circulated or lower-grade uncirculated pieces that dominate surviving populations.
