There were four prominent mints that produced the Morgan silver dollar and although they all made the same coin, each mint is quite different from the other. 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. Nowadays, the Old Mint is considered an official historical landmark and is presently the oldest structure in the US. Your 1880-O Morgan is considered to be in very fine condition, with visible wear around Lady Liberty's facial features and the eagle's feathers are not as sharp in detail. The mint mark "O" is underneath the eagle, on the reverse, to represent the Old Mint.
