The Denver mint did not strike coins before February 1906.

Your coin might be a counterfeit, or damaged.
1895-O dollars were made with the O mint mark in New Orleans,
and 1895-S dollars were made in San Francisco.
In a day or two you should be able to post photos, and these might show if your coin is a counterfeit.
No, it is not possible it is an error. If your mintmark is actually a D then you likely have a counterfeit piece. Another possibility is a damaged O as yosclimber noted.
Post an image of the coin if possible
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Most likely a damaged O mintmark as others have stated.

@Steveoko.... Welcome aboard. As noted above, your coin is either a counterfeit or has a damaged O mint mark. Pictures will allow us to determine what you have. Cheers, RickO
Once in a while somebody comes in the shop with counterfeit morgans, several have date and MM combonations that dont exist.
Oh I might add, about 6-8 months ago, older fellow (probably quite well off, based on who it is) One of family members of a very prominent family in the resturant business in this area) anyway, came by to have me look at some morgans he had been purchasing, all fake. well on the way home yesterday, he called back and wanted me to look at em again.
I told him nicely, Mr C if they were fake last time I looked em, there going to be fake again!
is it possible it is a counterfeit and a purchasing error?
Yup could of came from china. They have stuff like this ready to go and you will receive it faster then are mint.
