1891-O NGC AU-50 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin

1891-O NGC AU-50 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin

George T. Morgan designed the dollar coin that circulated in the US from 1878 to 1904, containing .7734 ounces of silver. Morgan Dollars, as they came to be known, were struck for one last time in 1921 before they were replaced by the Peace Silver Dollars.

To celebrate the centennial of its last issuance, the US Mint struck a special edition of Morgan Silver Dollars in 2021. 

The circulating Morgan Dollars were minted at several branches, including Philadelphia, New Orleans, Denver, San Francisco, and Carson City, which stopped minting in 1893. 

Coins with the "O" mint mark were produced at the New Orleans Mint.

An NGC AU-50 coin

Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), a trusted third-party service, uses the Sheldon Grading Scale to appraise and certify coins. This ensures the authenticity and quality of numismatic items.

The scale ranges from 1 to 70 and indicates that an AU-50 coin is an almost uncirculated sample that displays signs of wear at the highest points of the coin and preserves at least half its original luster.
