Since the Morgan was either heavily circulated or the BU Morgans were placed into bags for storage, the chances of finding a MS65 or higher Morgan is difficult to say the least. The production of the Morgan silver dollar not only helped the economy because silver was being turned into currency but it also aided to certain US Mints success. The New Orleans Mint served as a branch of the US Mint from 1838-1861, then again from 1879-1909. While the Morgan silver dollar was in production, the New Orleans Mint was able to stay in business since it relied on the Morgan silver dollar production. Unfortunately, the Morgan's production ceased in 1904 and the New Orleans Mint was decommissioned shortly after. Your 1885-O Morgan has earned the optimal grade of MS65, by the top grading company in the US, NGC.
