PCGS Number: 7216 Coin Date: 1892-O Denomination (Short): $1 Denomination (Long): One Dollar Desg: MS Mint Mark: O Composition: 90% silver; 10% copper Mintage: 2,744,000 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: As with many New Orleans Morgan dollars, the 1892-O is not necessarily known for its deep, bold strikes. This leaves much to be desired for the collector who wants Gem specimens, which are available but very scarce. While this issue can be found with ease in MS64, it is very scarce in MS65 and exceedingly rare in MS66 or better. PLs and DMPLs are also very scarce across the uncirculated spectrum, with Gems all but esoteric. PCGS #: 7216 NGC ID: 255N
