Appealing MS62 1895-O Dollar

1895-O $1 MS62 PCGS. At just 450,000 pieces struck, the 1895-O has the highest business strike Morgan dollar mintage for the year, and through XF grades it is less expensive than its S-mint counterpart. By the AU level, however, the O-mint coin is a match on price, and in the Uncirculated grades the 1895-O becomes one of the most famous conditionally elusive issues in the series, scarce in MS62 and a borderline rarity any better.
The supply implied by those terms, of course, is no match for the ravenous demand of series enthusiasts, and strong bidding is anticipated for this MS62 example. Faint gold and pink overtones settle on bright silver surfaces, and a small spot of milky reddish-gray color appears below the L in PLURIBUS. Abrasions and wispy slide marks on the portrait contribute to the grade. Population: 38 in 62, 36 finer (6/10).(Registry values: P9, N4719)
