1904-O $1, PL MS (PCGS#7293)

Spring 2026 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Lot Description: This is an exquisite Superb Gem that really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Intensely mirrored fields support sharply defined devices that are further set apart by a lightly frosted texture. Cameo contrast is modest, yet appreciable as the surfaces rotate under a light. Otherwise brilliant, halos of golden-orange iridescence ring the peripheries and provide further appeal. The final New Orleans Mint silver dollar, the 1904-O was produced to the extent of 3,720,000 pieces, the vast majority of which went into storage at the time of delivery. More than a million examples were released from the Philadelphia Mint and the Treasury Building in Washington, D.C. beginning in October of 1962, these releases making the 1904-O the most plentiful New Orleans Mint Morgan dollar in Mint State after only the 1885-O. While Prooflike coins are also plentiful in an absolute sense, the present example is a significant condition rarity due to its virtually pristine surfaces. Among the very finest certified in this category, in fact, and eagerly awaiting inclusion in an advanced silver dollar cabinet.
