1879-O Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS-62

Own an important early issue from America's most collected silver dollar series with this 1879-O Morgan Silver Dollar certified MS-62 by NGC. Produced during just the second full year of Morgan Dollar production, this New Orleans Mint issue combines classic American coinage with strong collector appeal.

The New Orleans Mint resumed striking Morgan Silver Dollars in 1879 following the introduction of the series in 1878. Located near the heart of the Gulf Coast's commerce, the New Orleans facility produced millions of silver dollars throughout the Morgan Dollar era, many of which remain popular among collectors today.

The 1879-O Morgan Dollar had an original mintage of 2,887,000 coins. While the mintage was substantial for its time, Mint State examples are considerably scarcer than circulated pieces. Collectors often seek this date as part of complete Morgan Dollar date-and-mint collections, particularly because it represents one of the earliest New Orleans Mint issues in the series.
