1881-O GSA Hoard, Hard package One Dollar MS Values
Details
The 1881-O Morgan dollar in GSA packaging is rare, at least as compared to CC-mint GSA Morgans. Some are found in circulated grades, other uncirculated, and some are in hard packs and other soft packs. Examples of any are very much in demand by Morgan dollar enthusiasts and particularly the large numbers of collectors who specifically focus on building GSA dollar sets. PLs and DMPLs are very rare.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $59.17
Obverse: Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse: The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
