Brand: US Mint
1896-O United States Morgan Silver Dollar - Rare New Orleans Mint Landmark Issue
Struck at the legendary New Orleans Mint during a time when America was rapidly expanding its industrial and financial power, this 1896-O Morgan Silver Dollar serves as a direct, tangible bridge to the late 19th century. Carrying the famous "O" mint mark, this piece may have sat in the heavy canvas bags of southern bank vaults, traveled through the rowdy saloons of the American West, or changed hands along the bustling Mississippi River trade routes. The 1896 New Orleans production is notoriously known among numismatists as a striking rarity; while millions were struck to satisfy treasury mandates, nearly all went straight into heavy commercial circulation or were permanently lost to the melting pots of the early 20th century. Featuring an honest, highly choice circulated patina with bold main details remaining, this historic coin stands as an exceptionally lucrative find for any collector tracking tough-date Morgan dollars. Secure this authenticated, classic piece of American silver heritage today at Gold & Silver Assay before it returns to a private collection!
