1882-O Morgan Dollar MS-65 NGC

---

The year 1882 marked a significant period of production for the United States Mint in New Orleans, Louisiana. Out of a total mintage of 6,090,000 silver dollars struck at this Southern facility that year, only a fraction have survived in pristine condition. This particular specimen is certified in Mint State 65 (MS-65), indicating a high level of preservation with minimal marks and a beautiful, lustrous surface. Bearing the classic 'O' mint mark on the reverse side, this dollar represents the historic output of the New Orleans Mint during the late nineteenth century. Crafted from 90 percent silver and containing 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal, the coin features the iconic Liberty head on the obverse, dated 1882, and a majestic eagle on the reverse. It stands as a stunning example of American coinage from the pre-1933 era.
