1882-O/S Morgan Silver Dollar VF–XF

1882 Morgan With A Dual Mint Mark!

In 1882, the San Francisco Mint sent three, lightly used Morgan Silver Dollar dies to the New Orleans Mint to aid the “Big Easy Mint” in its growing production of the coin. It was thought that mint employees in New Orleans would remove the “S” mint mark and replace it with their New Orleans “O” mint mark. Instead, they just re-stamped the die with the new “O” mint mark over the top of the old “S” creating an accidental dual mint mark coin. Talk about a big-time “Oops” moment!

Scarce Morgans From The Big Easy

• AMERICA’S MOST POPULAR COIN – The Morgan Silver Dollar—so named for its designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan—has stood the test of time. Struck from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921.
