Entry Details
PCGS Number: 7138 Coin Date: 1882-O/S Denomination (Short): $1 Denomination (Long): One Dollar Variety: Strong Desg: MS Mint Mark: O Composition: 90% silver; 10% copper Mintage: 6,090,000 Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Morgan silver dollar Coinage Years: 1878-1921 Mint Location: New Orleans Diameter: 38.1 Fineness: 0.9 Weight (Grams): 26.73 Weight (Ounces): 0.8594 Designer: George T. Morgan Edge: Reeded Obverse Description: Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom. Reverse Description: The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR. General Notes: This scarce but popular variety was created when an O mintmark was punched over an S, perhaps due to a shipping error from the Philadelphia Mint, where the dies were originally prepared and sent to their destination mints. There is also a similar O/S repunched mintmark for this date, with the mintmarks exhibiting more weakly. This piece is tougher than most Morgan in all grades, including circulated levels. Many are available in the lower MS levels but due to great competition among series enthusiasts for this piece, premiums are more often the rule than exception. Gems are extremely rare, and PLs and DMPLs are virtually non-existent. PCGS #: 7138 NGC ID: 254D
