Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine Condition 1887-O

While the Morgan silver dollar was being minted, there were other important historical events happening that have been forgotten through the years. In 1887, Pearl Harbor becomes an official Navy base in Hawaii, the first Groundhog's Day is observed, and a snowstorm in Montana contained the largest snowflakes that are on record. Also, the railroad industry passed a bill to be regulated, Helen Keller began her tutoring with Anne Sullivan, and the first female mayor was elected in Kansas. While all of these leaps in progress were made, the Morgan was fighting to stay in production. Your 1887-O Morgan carries the "O" mint-mark, since it was minted at the New Orleans Mint and is considered to be in very fine condition. Some aspects of very fine to be familiar with are the amount of wear on the surface of the coin, the main images do not have any sharpness in detail, and the overall luster is gone.
