Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this classic silver dollar contains 90% silver and features George T. Morgan's celebrated Lady Liberty and heraldic eagle designs. Professionally authenticated and graded AU 58 (About Uncirculated) by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), this coin offers attractive detail with only slight traces of circulation. Known for its scarcity in higher grades, the 1886-O Morgan Dollar is a desirable date for collectors seeking quality examples of New Orleans silver coinage.

The Morgan Silver Dollar series was produced from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, becoming one of the most widely collected series in American numismatics. In 1886, the New Orleans Mint struck 10,710,000 Morgan Silver Dollars, a substantial production figure that might initially suggest the date is common across all grades. However, the 1886-O is particularly challenging to locate in well-preserved condition.

Many examples entered circulation or were stored under conditions that affected their surfaces and overall appearance. As a result, the date is considerably more difficult to obtain in higher grades than its original mintage might suggest.
