Morgan Silver Dollar Fine Condition 1894-O

The 1894-O Morgan was minted during a crisis, wherein it was illegal to buy new silver to make the Morgans, due to the overwhelming stash of coins just sitting in the Treasury. This shortage caused lower minted Morgans from 1893-1895. Being a lower mintage coin, the 1894-O has a mintage of only 1,723,000 coins! This is still considered a lower mintage for the New Orleans Mint, since they produced millions of coins in other years. The 1894-O was also poorly made, making the act of finding one in mint state a real challenge. The best condition that can be found for this year is either AU or Extra Fine, since most of these were put into circulation. Your 1894-O Morgan bears the "O" mint-mark on the reverse, showing it was struck in the New Orleans Mint. A Morgan in fine condition exhibits heavy wear and its surface is incredibly smooth.
