The 1891-O Morgan dollar is a popular date, and it is plentiful enough in circulated and lower uncirculated grades. However, it is very tough in grades above MS64, with populations dropping sharply in MS65 or higher to where those pieces are considered quite rare. An extremely small number are known in MS66, and these draw huge premiums when they hit the market. PLS and DMPLS are rare, and those in the MS65 level or better are nearly esoteric.

Obverse Description

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 Description

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.
