After closing in 1861 due to the Civil War, the New Orleans Mint reopened in 1879 and began minting Morgan Silver Dollars almost exclusively. The Morgan Silver Dollar series was one of the most popular silver dollar programs of all time! Designed by George T. Morgan, these silver dollars have been sought-after by collectors for over a century. The beautifully intricate design, silver content, and wide range of varieties makes each Morgan Dollar a treat for any collection. This pair of Morgan Dollars includes two important dates in the series' history. The 1879-O Morgan Dollar was the first year of issue for the Morgan Dollar with the "O" mintmark, and the 1904-O Morgan Dollar was the last one ever minted at the New Orleans Mint. Both of these coins are in Almost Uncirculated-Brilliant Uncirculated condition (AU/BU). This set is a fantastic gem to have, especially since the New Orleans Mint became defunct over a century ago in 1909, so there are relatively few coins in general with the "O" mintmark. Add this special date set of vintage Morgan Dollars to your collection today!
Highlights:
- AU/BU condition
- First and Last Year of "O" Issue
- 90% Silver
