The Certified Morgan Silver Dollar 1897-O AU53 NGC has earned a AU grading, dependent on the Sheldon Grading Scale and ANA standards. The Certified Morgan Silver Dollar 1897-O AU53 NGC comes encased in an official NGC holder for protection. If you are looking for a Morgan that literally was used during the famous gold rush, then the 1897-O is just what you are looking for! The 1897-O Morgan silver dollar was heavily used by hopeful gold miners during the large Klondike expedition in Alaska. Since few 1897-O Morgans were preserved in banks or by collectors, it's difficult finding them in a condition that is better than Good-Very Good. The New Orleans Mint is one of the oldest landmark structures in the US. It was decommissioned as a mint facility in 1909 and has seen other interesting uses throughout the years. The New Orleans Mint building has been used as an assay office, a storage facility for the US Coast Guard, and a fallout shelter. Nowadays, it is admired for its history and old age, being deemed an official US landmark.
