Lot Description

The gorgeous, frosty surfaces are highly lustrous with an expectably smooth appearance for the coveted premium Gem grade from PCGS. Fully struck, a minimal amount of natural patina clings to selected border areas, slightly more on the obverse. The first of the Morgan dollar issues from the New Orleans Mint, the 1879-O is readily obtainable in lower grades through MS-64, but scarce to rare any finer. This is one of the most visually appealing examples we have offered in recent sales, and it comes highly recommended for inclusion in an advanced Morgan dollar set.
