Lot Description

With superior strike detail in the centers and uncommonly lustrous surfaces, this is a thoroughly PQ coin in a Brilliant Uncirculated 1893-O dollar. Minimally toned in pale silvery hues, most viewing angles reveal frosty-white brilliance. At just 300,000 coins struck the 1893-O is the lowest mintage New Orleans Mint Morgan dollar. Apart from limited releases from the Cash Room of the Treasury Department Building from 1948 through 1955, this issue has never entered numismatic channels in quantity. By the late 1950s, in fact, the scarcity of the 1893-O in Mint State was already an established fact in the rare coin market, which conclusion was reinforced by the absence of this issue in the Treasury Department releases of 1962 to 1964.
