Description
MS64 1896-O Morgan Dollar
Conditional Rarity
1896-O $1 MS64 PCGS. A conditional rarity like the 1886-O
with which it has much in common, the 1896-O Morgan dollar is
seldom found with Choice surfaces, usually due to deficient strike,
luster, and/or heavy abrasions.This piece is nonetheless a marvelous exception. Aside from a couple of minor reeding marks on Liberty's cheek and one nick on the reverse below the motto, the fields exhibit just light chatter with no singular distractions. The silver-white, untoned surfaces show ebullient cartwheel luster. Finally, the strike is excellent for an O-mint production: Although minor softness shows on the hair over the ear and on the eagle's breast, the impression is considerably better than usually seen on this elusive issue. Population: 24 in 64, 3 finer (6/09).
