1890-O One Dollar MS Values
Details
The 1890-O Morgan dollar is a very common coin in all circulated grades and in MS levels through MS64, though above that this piece becomes exceptionally tough. It is rare in MS66 or better, with decent bidding wars often waged between registry set collectors who want the best pieces for their collections. PLs and DMPLs are scarce in all grades and rare in the Gem levels.
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.
