1895-O Morgan Dollar ($1)

The 1895-O Morgan Dollar is a standout within the series due to its notably low mintage of 450,000 coins. This makes it one of the more challenging dates to find, especially in higher grades. Struck at the New Orleans Mint, these dollars are known for their typically weak strikes.

In particular, CAC-approved AU55s are VERY tough. It's been over 2 years since one appeared in a public auction. This example, fresh to market and graded AU55 by PCGS, exhibits extremely strong eye appeal for the grade and thus is richly deserving of its sticker. Even wear is evident across the surfaces, but key details remain sharp. The coin displays an attractive underlying luster complemented by a subtle oritinal patina. With minimal contact marks, it stands out as a solid acquisition.
