Certified Morgan Silver Dollar 1895-O XF45 NGC

1895 was the final year of the silver purchasing shortage, making any Morgan minted between the years 1893-1895 come with an incredibly low mintage. Only 450,000 Morgans were struck in 1895 at the New Orleans Mint, most being placed into circulation. In the 1960's, the US Treasury released many bags of mint-state coins that have just been sitting around for 70 years. Many anxious collectors rummaged through these bags to find not even one 1895-O in mint state condition. Your 1895-O Morgan silver dollar features the "O" mint-mark on its reverse side. This coin is considered to be in extra fine condition, with slight wear on the coin's surface but the original mint luster is still present. NGC, the top competitor in grading companies, has certified this coin and considers it on the higher end of the extra fine scale.
