Historical Significance
The Morgan Silver Dollar, minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, symbolizes the economic expansion and industrial growth of the late 19th century. The 1879-O issue reflects the bustling activity of the New Orleans Mint, a key player in the production of these iconic silver coins. The 1879-O variety possesses distinct attributes that set it apart from other Morgan Dollars and endows it with a special numismatic standing. Its "O" mint mark indicates its creation in New Orleans, a mint historically linked to coins with typically weaker strikes. The coins produced there are highly sought after because very few specimens have survived in extremely fine condition.
