The Morgan was minted at four different places from 1878-1904. Each mint, that produced the Morgans, had their own character and charisma to offer the silver dollar. The New Orleans Mint, or also known as the Old Mint, served as a branch of the US Mint from 1838-1861, then again from 1879-1909. Since the bulk of the New Orleans Mint's production was the Morgan silver dollar, they literally didn't make enough money to stay afloat after the Morgan ceased production. After being decommissioned, the New Orleans Mint was used for other things like an assay office, the US Coast guard office, and even a fallout shelter. Your 1883-O Morgan is considered to be in fine condition, with large amounts of wear present around Lady Liberty and the eagle's feathers. The mint mark "O" is underneath the eagle, on the reverse, to represent the Old Mint. Coined at one of the oldest historic landmarks in the US, the 1883-O Morgan is over 120 years old!
