Dealers estimate that about 20% of all the pieces they see today bearing this date are either MS-60, MS-65, MS-65+, or MS-65 prooflike.The typical strike for this issue is better than either the 1884-O or the 1883-O, but it is still not a high quality strike. Many strikes can be called average, but a large percentage of Mint State pieces exist with the missing high point details. Either the New Orleans mint used improper striking pressure, or they simply tried to use dies for too long a time.The bagmarks seen on this issue tend to exist in two versions.

The luster situation is adequate, with many pieces exhibiting very high quality coloration.The coin is common in MS-65 prooflike condition. Dealers feel that about seven percent of the Mint State pieces fall into the prooflike category. Cameos exist in some quantity and are in great demand.

They were made from 1878 to 1921, when the Peace dollar was adopted.Your coin comes inside a sonically sealed, hard plastic case with a unique serial number!Bidding for this Morgan starts at only $0.99 with NO RESERVE!That's right, NO RESERVE!!!Don't miss out![Approximate Shipping Weight: 4 OuncesLOT#:4Up for auction, we have a1885 O Authentic Gem Uncirculated Morgan Silver Dollar.
