Guidelines for Collecting:

The 1888-O Morgan dollar is available in all circulated and Mint State grades. Like many of its sister New Orleans issues, the 1888-O dribbled out of government storage and into the coin market in 1946 and into the 1950s. Many more 1888-O dollars were released from a long-stored cache from a vault at the Philadelphia Mint in the early 1960s. Striking and luster are often far below par, but it is possible to find an attractive example by taking some time to search. The strike can range from flat to sharp, with most coins showing weakness at the center observe and center reverse. Luster can be grainy to dull, but some can be found that are frosty and attractive.

Availability in Circulated Grades:

Always available in EF and AU for those working on circulated Morgan dollar sets.

Availability in Mint State Grades:

A plentiful issue in virtually every Mint State grade. We like MS-64 although the date should be cherrypicked for strength of strike and lively, frosty luster.

Availability in Proof:

None produced.
