1887-O Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS63
High-Grade New Orleans Morgan Silver Dollars
In the days of the Wild West, the silver dollar was king. These hefty, highly pure 90% fine silver coins circulated heavily throughout the nation—all thanks to the Comstock Lode. So, it’s no surprise that a good chunk of the silver was shipped to the New Orleans Mint to help handle the coinage needs for the southern states.
Scarce Steamboat Dollars From The New Orleans Mint
Of all the Morgans ever struck, some of the most unique are those struck at the fabled New Orleans Mint, the only U.S. branch mint to be controlled by three different governmental bodies—the State of Louisiana, the Confederate States of America, and the United States of America. And now you secure this dazzling vintage 1887-O Morgan Silver Dollar struck at the New Orleans Mint.

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:
- AMERICA’S MOST POPULAR COIN – The Morgan Silver Dollar—so named for its designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan—has stood the test of time. Struck from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, it was the coin of America’s “Wild West” and jingled in the coin purses of gamblers, gunfighters, soldiers, and dance hall girls.
- CLASSIC DESIGNS – Morgan’s historic design depicts a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings. The model used for Liberty was Miss Anna Williams of Philadelphia, who Morgan declared to have the most perfect feminine profile he had ever seen.
- STRUCK IN GLEAMING AMERICAN SILVER – Morgan Silver Dollars were struck in highly pure 90% fine silver from the famous Comstock Lode and measure 38.1 mm in diameter.
- LEGAL TENDER SILVER DOLLAR – Morgans were $1 legal tender and struck during the heyday of America’s Wild West era where coins were overwhelmingly preferred over paper currency.
- HIGH-GRADE UNCIRCULATED CONDITION – Your coin was graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-63 (MS63) condition.
- THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGANS – While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence—and fewer still remain in Mint State-63 Uncirculated condition!
