General Notes: The 1881-O Morgan dollar in GSA packaging is rare, at least as compared to CC-mint GSA Morgans. Some are found in circulated grades, other uncirculated, and some are in hard packs and other soft packs. Examples of any are very much in demand by Morgan dollar enthusiasts and particularly the large numbers of collectors who specifically focus on building GSA dollar sets. PLs and DMPLs are very rare.
