Such is the case with some 1883-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. 1883-O GSA Morgan dollars are found in both circulated and uncirculated grades and were packaged in soft packs and hard packs. Examples grading PL or DMPL are rare. PCGS #: 524966 NGC ID: 254J
