Low-Survival 1883 Philadelphia Morgan Silver Dollar. This early Morgan had an original mintage of 12,291,039. But today as few as 365,000 may survive in mint-state quality. That’s just 3% of the original number! Most were lost through melts or attrition. There are other Morgan issues of the early 1880s where up to ten times as many BUs are estimated to exist.
Affordable 1883-O Morgan Silver Dollar. This vintage silver dollar, issued over a century and quarter ago, was struck by the historic New Orleans Mint in the heyday of the series. Although 8,725,000 were minted only a fraction survive today in our mint-state quality. The “O” mintmark appears below the eagle and wreath on the reverse side.
Our Brilliant Uncirculated quality has nice original luster and no sign of wear (some bag marks are present, as is normal). Each silver dollar is encased in an air-tite
capsule that fits perfectly in the velvet blue flocked clamshell case.
