About this product
Product Information
<h2>Q. David Bowers</h2>The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993)<br/><br/>Numismatic Information<br/><br/>Hoard coins: Beginning in 1947-1948 and continuing through the early 1950s, several bags of 1899-O dollars were released in the East from storage in the Treasury Building in Washington, D.C., and were distributed among banks. A few dealers took advantage of the opportunity to stock up on a bag or two or a few rolls. Prior to this time, the 1899-O was a rarity in Mint State, although few collectors or dealers realized this.<br/><br/>However, it was not until October 1962 that large quantities of bags of this issue became available. The occasion was the well-known release of long-hidden New Orleans Mint dollars from a sealed vault in the Philadelphia Mint. In the great Treasury release of 1962-1964, 1899-O coins were among the first silver dollars in quantity to see the light of day.<br/><br/>Circulated grades: In worn grades, 1899-O dollars are inexpensive today but are not plentiful. As large quantities of Mint State pieces are available, this has kept the prices of circulated pieces low.<br/><br/>Mint State grades: Most known 1899-O dollars are in Mint State. Rather than being concentrated solely at lower levels, the population of such pieces is fairly evenly distributed from MS-60 through the 64 levels. My estimates are as follows: MS-60 to 62, 300,000 to 600,000 coins; MS-63, 175,000 to275,000; and MS-64, 150,000 to 250,000. In other words, here is a Morgan dollar that is very plentiful in the middle Uncirculated grades. At the MS-65 or better level the population is much less, but enough remain-about 30,000 to 60,000-that in absolute terms the coins are plentiful.<br/><br/>The strike of 1899-O Morgan dollars varies from flat to excellent. Here is another issue for which cherry-picking will pay dividends, as beautiful gems can be found. The certification services do not distinguish between poor and excellent strikes; thus, you will have to search on your own. As noted, there are plenty of Mint State coins to choose from! With regard to the surface of the typical coin, most 1899-O dollars are frosty with excellent lustre and are very attractive.<br/><br/>Prooflike coins: DMPL 1899-O Morgan dollars at one time were plentiful. Wayne Miller in his 1982 book reported that he once owned several rolls of such pieces, but by 1980 they were scarce on the market. Even so, the 1899-O is one of the more available Morgan dollars in this finish. More often than not, DMPL coins are extensively bagmarked. About 25% of the DMPL coins are MS-65 or finer. Die rotation: 1899-O dollars are known with the reverse rotated.<br/><br/>Varieties<br/><br/>Circulation strikes:<br/><br/>1. Medium Round O mintmark, open 99, Breen-5658, many VAM listings; Medium Round Omintmark, closed 99, Breen-5659, likewise, many V AM varieties. Partly repunched dates are numerous; none with dramatic doubling. The Medium Round 0 mintmark variety accounts for over 99% of known 1899-O dollars and virtually all of the Mint State ones.<br/><br/>2. Small Round 0 mintmark, closed 99, Breen-5660, VAM-4, 5, 6. These varieties comprise a very small percentage of known 1899-O dollars (Jeff Oxman says fewer than 1%1). Usually seen in low grades, the small mintmark or "Micro 0" coins are scarce Uncirculated. Apparently, the Small Round 0 mintmark variety was not represented in the 1962-1964 Treasury release. The Journal of the S.S.D.C., Spring 1992, contains a detailed discussion of the relative rarity and characteristics of the three VAM varieties. VAM-4 and 6 share the same obverse; VAM-5 is the scarcest of the three
