Brilliant, Select 1886-O Morgan Dollar

1886-O $1 MS63 PCGS. The semi-key 1886-O is one of the most challenging issues in the Morgan Dollar series in terms of both striking quality and surface preservation. The New Orleans Mint produced a staggering 10.7 million Silver Dollars this year, an overwhelming total for the coinage staff. As a result, most survivors display poor striking quality that is most readily evident in the softness of detail over the central highpoints. In addition, this issue was not widely represented in the Treasury release of the early 1960s, and Mint State coins of any quality are scarce, if not rare. The present Select quality representative is unusually well produced for the issue with no areas of bothersome striking incompleteness. The surfaces are fully lustrous with a frosty texture and a completely untoned appearance. A few light to moderate bagmarks over the obverse portrait account for the MS63 designation.
