I've been so focused on Peace dollars lately that I haven't really looked at my Morgans in a while. Found this one on GC and won it this past weekend. For whatever reasons, this date is tough above 63 and nearly impossible in 65 and above. Sadly, there isn't much information regarding surviving populations on CoinFacts.

This 64 replaces an MS62 that I've had for a while but could never find an attractive replacement for. Finding this date with interesting color is even more challenging. It should be arriving today but below you can find the TV and GC images which seem to agree with the colors on the coin's surfaces.

Feel free to leave an opinion and thanks for looking!


Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    Love the look on that one.
    Nice B)

    Yes, they are quite hard to locate in 64 and above.

    Here is my 80-O

    @LeeBone that is one clean 1880-O and it looks lustrous to boot! Nice coin all around!
