The 1882-O is certainly a "better date" in MS65, but that is not what is being sold.

    Confused to the point of idiocy.

    "1886 MS65 PCGS Silver Morgan Dollar

    Better Date

    Up for sale ia a beautiful 1896 PCGS MS65 Morgan Silver Dollar.This is a better date for the Morgans especially in the O and MS65 condition."


    Apparently, everything is better with an "O" condition and "MS65".

    1886? 1896?

    Wasteland.


    Perhaps "better date" applies to anything that is not 1921?

    When it comes to eBay, "better date" translates to semi-semi-key date.

    The 1882-S is a "better date" only in the fact that is is the most "scarce" of the first five S minted Morgans. It is still very common.

    i think what is going on is that the seller used AND between O
    and 65. They also probably used the same text for all the auctions.

    So what i mean is, is that the 1882S has the quality of being graded
    65 but obviously it is not an O.

    i bet they also recently sold or are selling an O morgan which would
    make sense based on their text of the auction.

    If I were the seller, I do not think I would ever use a line like this in my auctions.
