1882-O/S Weak One Dollar MS Values
Details
The 1882-O/S Morgan dollar is one of several popular repunched mintmark varieties in the series, in this case an O mintmark was punched over an erroneous S. On this piece the mintmarks exhibit more weakly than on the counterpart O/S Strong. This tough variety is scarce in all grades and especially so in the Gem level, where it becomes quite rare. So, too, are PLs and DMPLs for this piece.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $64.22
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.
