There were four mints that produced the Morgan silver dollar from 1878-1904. 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. Nowadays, the Old Mint is considered an official historical landmark and is presently the oldest structure in the US. Your 1882-O Morgan was minted in New Orleans, carries the "O" mint-mark, and is in very fine condition. Very fine condition consists of noticeable amounts of wear on the surface of the coin with image details that are smoothed over.
