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.
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.
