The Morgan Silver Dollar was struck from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. Designed by George T. Morgan, the series became one of the most collected and studied U.S. coins. The 1888-O issue was minted in New Orleans, a facility known for producing coins that often developed interesting minting anomalies due to working die challenges. Collectors prize this coin not only for its bold error but also for its status as one of the most celebrated varieties in the Morgan Dollar series.
