This 1896-O New Orleans issue from “the Rare Decade” is a really tough find in mint-state quality, and regularly retails for four figures. While easily affordable in our clearly detailed Very Fine quality, it’s still relatively scarce. A silver dollar encyclopedia estimates that perhaps 160,000 may exist in VF condition or higher grades. The Philadelphia 1896 Morgan issue is far more available, yet costs about the same.
Diameter 38.1mm, Weight 26.73 grams, Composition .900 silver
