1899-O PCGS MS-63 Morgan Dollar Silver Coin
The US Mint initially produced Morgan Silver Dollars coins from 1878 to 1904, then again in 1921 as the official dollar coin for widespread circulation, and once more in a commemorative strike marking the centenary of their last issuance as circulating currency.
Their design, signed by US Mint Chief Engraver George T. Morgan, reflects the economic optimism and industrial growth of the US era.
One notable feature of some Morgan Silver Dollars is the mintmarks, which indicate where the coin was produced. The coins minted in New Orleans bear the “O” mint mark.

A PCGS MS-63 Coin
PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) appraises and grades coins using the Sheldon Grading Scale as a parameter. It works apart from sovereign mints, certifying coins from 1 to 70, according to their condition.
