Such is the case with some 1882-O Morgan dollars, of which a small fraction were released from US Treasury hoard in the 1970s and early 1980s and sold as part of the Great Silver Sale program that originally launched in 1972. Examples of 1882-O GSA Morgan dollars in hard packs are rare. NGC ID: 254C
