1884-O GSA Hoard, Hard package One Dollar MS PL Values
Details
While most GSA Morgan dollars were struck at the Carson City Mint, a small fraction of these GSA Hoard coins were made at other mint facilities. Such is the case with some 1884-O Morgan dollars, of which a small fraction were released from US Treasury hoard in the 1970s and early 1980s and sold as part of the Great Silver Sale program that originally launched in 1972. 1884-O GSA Morgan dollars are found in both circulated and uncirculated grades and were packaged in soft packs and hard packs. Examples grading PL or DMPL are rare.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $56.78
