Colorfully Toned 1897-O Morgan Dollar, MS64 PCGS

1897-O $1 MS64 PCGS. If 1897-O Dollars were included in the Treasury Department releases of the early 1960s, then their quantity could not have been very great. There are also few records of Mint-sealed bags entering the numismatic market in earlier decades. As a result of these and other factors, the 1897-O is a scarce-to-rare coin at all levels of Mint State preservation despite having been produced to the extent of 4 million pieces. Examples that approach the Gem threshold are rare, and those that actually grade MS65 or finer are extremely so. This near-Gem is rather well produced by the standards of the issue. The coin presents a beautifully toned appearance with colors of sunset-gold, mint-green, and deep red dominating each side. The overall striking appearance is good, but the hair curls directly above Liberty's ear are indistinct, as are the eagle's breast feathers (probably the grade-limiting factor). We are unable to find many abrasions, and there certainly are none that would be worthy of individual mention. Worthy of a close look and a strong bid. Population: 26 in 64, 12 finer (9/04).(#7248) (Registry values: P7, N4719)
