1893-O One Dollar MS Values
Details
The 1893-O Morgan dollar is very scarce in all grades, especially in uncirculated levels. Even in MS63, the 1893-O dollar proves quite challenging, and in grades higher than MS64 it is exceedingly rare. PLs and DMPLs are proportionately much rare than their standard MS counterparts, with either format considered rare in any grade, and in MS65 existing in tiny numbers.
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.
