1883-O Morgan Silver Dollar NGC BU w/Pittman Act Label

O-Mint Morgans that Survived the Pittman Act

The storied Morgan Silver Dollar is perhaps the most coveted silver dollar in the world. Struck at five different mints across the United States, it famously circulated during the Wild West, adding to its mystique. However, the Pittman Act of 1918 called for the melting of nearly half of ALL Morgans struck! This, combined with additional meltings and the rigors of time and trade, have resulted in as few as 15% of all Morgans remaining.

What we have here is an 1883-O Morgan struck at the fabled New Orleans Mint, the only U.S. Mint branch to be controlled by three different governmental bodies – the state of Louisiana, the Confederate States of America and the United States of America. Still in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, it’s a must-have for your collection. Plus, each coin available in this offer comes with a special Pittman Act label – a badge of honor for a coin that survived the soul-crushing act that saw the utter destruction of more than 270 million Morgan Silver Dollars.
