The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR. General Notes: The 1902 Morgan dollar is not necessarily considered a common date, but it is readily available enough in circulated and low-end uncirculated grades to satisfy collector demand. Examples grading up through MS65 are relatively easy to find in the marketplace, while MS66s are quite scarce and MS67s are rare. PLs are considerably rare and only a tiny handful of DMPLs exist and command incredible premiums on the rare occasion they are available for purchase. PCGS #: 7278 NGC ID: 256M
