Morgan Silver Dollar Almost Uncirculated 1896-O

The yearly minting of the Morgan silver dollar wasn't the only interesting event to happen in 1896. Utah officially became the 45th state in the United States of America. The first X-ray photograph was taken, the first female college basketball game was played, and William McKinley was elected president. Among the hussle and bussle of many firsts in the US, the Morgan was struggling to stay in circulation. Since many miners were freelance and made direct profit from the silver they mined, it was hard for the government to keep an inventory of how much silver was coming into the US Mint. There were many acts that were repealed as the government was trying to have more regulations over the silver market, throughout the Morgan silver dollar's life. Your 1896-O Morgan has been minted in New Orleans and carries the "O" mint-mark.
