Here is an outstanding example of this challenging New Orleans Mint issue. The strike is superior for an 1896-O dollar, with bold to sharp definition to the hair curls over Liberty's ear and the eagle's breast feathers.The luster is also outstanding with a lovely, frosty texture that is as nice as the day the coin emerged from the dies. Brilliant apart from the faintest blush of champagne-gold iridescence, this gorgeous coin will be a highlight in any Morgan dollar set.
