1885-O GSA Morgan Silver Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated

Description

•    Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 to 1921 
•    Struck in 1885 at the Southern Mint in New Orleans 
•    The New Orleans Mint is highly connected to the Morgan Dollar series as they almost exclusively struck silver Morgan Dollars after the Civil War  
•    New Orleans Mint Morgan Dollars are notorious for being difficult to acquire with beautiful strikes, making these examples each a true numismatic rarity 
•    Most coins from the GSA Hoard come from the Carson City Mint  
•    Less than 28,000 coins uncovered in the GSA Hoard are not from the Carson City Mint  
•    One of the few examples from the GSA Hoard struck at the New Orleans Mint 
•    Due to the Pittman Act of 1918, nearly half of all Morgan Dollars were melted down 
•    Less than 2% of all Morgan Silver Dollars are certified in Brilliant Uncirculated condition 
•    Housed in their original GSA packaging, just as they were auctioned off when they were released from the government hoards
