Morgan dollar condition rarity

blu62vette

Is there a one stop place for information on condition rarity for Morgan dollars? I wasnt sure if people learn this over time or have a place for it or pull the info from a book.

Thanks!!

Wayne Miller's old book was good for a brief general overview of condition rarities by date. There are also pop reports (not to be taken as literal truths), Highfill's huge book, the occasional greysheet cover article, etc No one-stop place unless you want limited information.

Just look at a price guide--Grey Sheet or the PCGS price guide is fine for this purpose, but then make a mental adjustment for the CC dollars, which in many cases are not priced commensuarate with scarcity in the same way as other coins in the series.

Edited to add: there are some anomolies in the series where circulated coins are rare and MS coins are common, which won't show up in price lists. The 1903-o is an example.

Wayne's 1886-O was one of the true condition rarities. Pop 1/0 with 0 in the under grade.

The more common are the 84-s 92-s 93-s and 95-o in mint state. All but the 93-s are considered plentiful in lower circ condition. The 86-o 93-o 94-o 96-o 97-o and 1901 are somewhat scarce in lower MS but easy enough to find. Nice 1901s in higher ms are very scarce.
