The Certified Morgan Silver Dollar 1902-O MS63 PCGS has earned a grade in the middle of the Sheldon BU grading scale and comes encased in an official PCGS holder. For being an assistant engraver, George T. Morgan was so talented that he got a coin named after him. George T. Morgan started his engraving career in England and made his way into the US Mint in 1876. There, he worked under the Chief engraver, William Barber, being his assistant engraver. Barber is known for the infamous currency such as the barber quarter, the barber dime, the barber half dollar, etc. After nearly 40 years as assistant engraver, Morgan finally earned the title, Chief engraver, once Barber passed in 1917. The mint mark "O" is underneath the eagle, on the reverse, and it represents the New Orleans branch of the US Mint.
