Description
The 1896-O dollar is one of those coins that makes numismatics so interesting and, at the same time, puzzling to the uninitiated observer. On one hand, a well-worn specimen can be bought rather inexpensively. On the other hand, no less an authority than Wayne Miller wrote that "the 1896-O is the rarest of all Morgan dollars in truly gem condition."
