1892-O One Dollar MS Values
Details
As with many New Orleans Morgan dollars, the 1892-O is not necessarily known for its deep, bold strikes. This leaves much to be desired for the collector who wants Gem specimens, which are available but very scarce. While this issue can be found with ease in MS64, it is very scarce in MS65 and exceedingly rare in MS66 or better. PLs and DMPLs are also very scarce across the uncirculated spectrum, with Gems all but esoteric.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $29.33
Obverse: Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse: The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
