1884-O Morgan Silver Dollar — New Orleans Mint
Extremely Fine (XF)
The 1884-O Morgan Silver Dollar was struck at the New Orleans Mint, a mint that played a major role in supplying silver coinage to the South and the Mississippi Valley after the Civil War. New Orleans issues were produced for circulation, not storage, and many saw years of everyday use.
By the mid-1880s, Morgan dollars from the New Orleans Mint were moving through banks, river trade, and local commerce. They passed from hand to hand across a wide region, and that circulation history is often visible today.
This example grades Extremely Fine (XF), showing moderate, even wear from use while retaining strong detail. Liberty’s portrait remains clear, with defined hair strands and facial features, and the reverse eagle shows solid feather detail for the grade. The surfaces display natural wear consistent with age, without signs of harsh cleaning.
New Orleans Morgan dollars are collected for their connection to regional commerce rather than mint novelty. An 1884-O in XF offers an honest, circulated example of the series—one that balances visible history with well-preserved design.
