The New Orleans Mint is considered to be one of the oldest US landmarks that still stands. It was first established in 1838 and closed its doors in 1909. In its time as a mint, it produced over 427 million coins in every denomination. The Old Mint also had to take a break for a few years due to the American Civil War and the Reconstruction. The New Orleans Mint mainly produced the Morgan, so when production ceased in 1904, the Old Mint closed shortly after. Your 1899-O Morgan is in brilliant uncirculated condition and has earned the ideal grade of MS64 by NGC. For BU coins, there is a grading scale that is between MS60-MS70, MS70 obviously being the best grade a coin can receive. Since many BU Morgans were improperly stored for a long period of time, it is rare to find a Morgan with a grade higher than MS65.
