Product Description
1882-O/S Morgan Silver Dollar About Uncirculated – This over-mintmarked treasure is super hard to find in mint-state condition – and even in circulated grades, a silver dollar expert estimates that less than 20,000 may exist today. These particular 1882 New Orleans silver dollars were struck using dies that were sent from San Francisco. The reverse die was only partially effaced, thus resulting in the ghostly specter of the S mintmark. More than 140 years later, remnants of San Fran's signature can still be found within the O on a number of New Orleans Morgans.
1900-O/CC Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine to Extra Fine – So how exactly did a 1900 Morgan end up with traces of the famous CC mintmark when the facility had closed seven years earlier? When the branch mint was converted to an assay office all of its equipment was sent to Philadelphia where the CC dies were re-punched with New Orleans' O. However, some of the dies were partially effaced, thus resulting in the turn of the century 1900-O over CC variety – and only a handful of surviving New Orleans specimens display the posthumous marks of the Carson City Mint more than 12 decades after issue.
