This popular but scarce variety was created when some leftover Morgan dies from 1886 were repunched for use in the 1887 production year. A similar variety exists for the O-mint of that same year. These pieces are tough in all grades, though become especially challenging around the AU level and are rare around the Gem level and higher. PLs are quite scarce and DMPLs are truly rare, especially in the Gem range, where they command phenomenal premiums.
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.
