This scarce but popular variety was created when an O mintmark was punched over an S, perhaps due to a shipping error from the Philadelphia Mint, where the dies were originally prepared and sent to their destination mints. There is also a similar O/S repunched mintmark for this date, with the mintmarks exhibiting more weakly. This piece is tougher than most Morgan in all grades, including circulated levels. Many are available in the lower MS levels but due to great competition among series enthusiasts for this piece, premiums are more often the rule than exception. Gems are extremely rare, and PLs and DMPLs are virtually non-existent.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
Book Reference
Key to Collecting: The 1882-O, O Over S, is a worthwhile addition to your collection, with a reasonable grade goal being MS-63 or MS-64, not because of price, but because pieces at higher levels are virtually impossible to find. Beyond that, be sure to buy one with the overmintmark distinct under a good 4x glass. On some the under-S is weak, and these should be avoided. Traces of die rust are normal and not a negative factor.
Surface Quality: Striking varies from sharp to weak. On all known examples there is graininess in some areas, due to tiny raised dots from light rust pits in the dies.
Prooflike Coins: In 1982, Wayne Miller reported that he had “seen two or three [prooflike] pieces; none evidenced any die pitting.”29 A few DMPL coins have been certified in low Mint State grades.
Mintage and Distribution: Little is known of the specific mintage and distribution of this overmintmark, as it was not closely studied until recent decades. Examples have been found mixed with quantities of regular 1882-O dollars as a tiny percentage of those in certain bags. Note: Prices are for coins with a strong overdate. Less-prominent overdates have lower values.
VARIETIES:
1882-O, O Over S: VAM-3 (O Over S Flush), VAM-4 (O Over S Recessed), and VAM-5 (O Over S Broken). VAM-3 in most die states may be the best bet, but even these can be weak.
