1885-O Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS65 — New Orleans Mint

The 1885-O Morgan Silver Dollar, certified MS65 by PCGS, is a Gem Uncirculated example of one of the most beloved series in American numismatics. Struck at the New Orleans Mint in 1885, this coin carries the distinctive "O" mint mark on its reverse, just below the eagle. The obverse presents George T. Morgan's celebrated portrait of Liberty — her hair adorned with a wheat and cotton wreath and a coronet inscribed LIBERTY — surrounded by thirteen stars and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle with wings spread wide, grasping an olive branch and arrows, framed by laurel sprays and the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ONE DOLLAR, with IN GOD WE TRUST arching above. At the MS65 Gem Uncirculated level, this New Orleans issue exhibits exceptional surface quality with strong cartwheel luster and sharply struck design elements. The coin is securely housed in a PCGS tamper-evident holder complete with barcode and holographic security label, PCGS certification number 7822232, making registry and provenance tracking straightforward for collectors.
