1902-O One Dollar MS Values
Details
The 1902-O Morgan dollar is a tougher date, with circulated examples proving a little difficult to find and uncirculated pieces widely available in the MS65 to MS66 range. There is a small number of MS67s and pieces grading higher available, and these predictably take huge sums when offered for sale. Like many other New Orleans Mint dollars, the 1902-O is not always very well struck and luster can be iffy, causing many pieces to grade below the Gem threshold. PLs are challenging but obtainable, while DMPLs are rare.
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.
