Product Details
This 1904-O Morgan Dollar, graded MS-65 by NGC, marks the final year of production for the iconic silver dollar at the historic New Orleans Mint.
The 1904-O Morgan Dollar carries with it a distinct air of finality, representing the very last time the "O" mint mark for New Orleans would grace the popular silver series. For anyone interested in the rich story of U.S. coinage, holding this coin means connecting with a specific point in time when the future of the American dollar was uncertain. This particular example, certified in a brilliant Mint State 65 by NGC, showcases remarkable preservation, allowing its intricate details to shine, a rare feat for New Orleans issues which were often known for their inconsistent strike quality.
Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse of this dollar features a captivating profile of Lady Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap and wheat and cotton bundles, while the reverse displays a majestic eagle with outstretched wings clutching arrows and an olive branch. Struck with a purity of .900 fine silver and a metal content of 0.7734 troy ounces, these substantial coins also contain 10% copper, giving them their characteristic durability. With a diameter of 38.1 mm and a thickness of 3.1 mm, they were substantial pieces of currency, holding a face value of one dollar.
The 1904-O Mintage of 3,720,000 pieces was initially perceived as quite scarce in higher grades. However, its story took an intriguing turn in the 1960s when large quantities, including many pristine examples like this one, were released from U.S. Treasury vaults. This event dramatically reshaped its availability, transforming it from a "sleeper" rarity into a more accessible treasure for collectors seeking a high-grade representation of this significant mintage.
This coin is for those who appreciate not just the artistry of American numismatics but also the unique historical context each piece embodies. It's a tangible link to an era of industrial expansion and shifting economic policies, all encapsulated within a beautifully preserved silver dollar from the historic New Orleans Mint, a facility that would cease its coining operations just a few years later.
