The 1900-O Morgan is a common coin that is readily available in circulated condition and even up through grades of MS65. The date becomes a little scarcer in the MS66 range and in the MS67 levels it is somewhat scarce, though none are known to grade higher. PLs are scarce, especially in the Gem range. DMPLs are rare in all grades.
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: 1900-O dollars are plentiful in Mint State. However, the striking quality can vary widely, and it will pay to do some picking and choosing. The luster is usually excellent, but quite a few have prominent planchet striations—from the drawing-bench process before planchets were punched out. Avoid these.
Surface Quality: The strike varies from weak to quite sharp, but enough sharp pieces exist that the search will not be long. All New Orleans dollars this year are from the old-style die with well-defined breast feathers (which may or may not be sharply struck on a given coin). The mint luster is typically frosty and attractive.
Prooflike Coins: Prooflike coins are for the most part unattractive, and deeply prooflike coins are rare. Many have raised die swirls from the basining process. Few have cameo contrast.
Mintage and Distribution: Delivery figures by month: January, 1,550,000; February, 1,500,000; March, 2,000,000; April, 1,500,000; May, 1,500,000; June, 1,000,000; July, 630,000; August, 400,000; September, 1,000,000; October, 0; November, 1,140,000; December, 370,000. While many 1900-O dollars were paid out in the early years, quantities remained in storage in such places as the Treasury Building in Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. The Treasury Building paid out many from the 1930’s to the early 1950’s, and perhaps later as well. Enough remained that hundreds of sealed 1,000-coin bags were part of the 1962 through 1964 Treasury release.
VARIETIES:
Many varieties exist, mostly from the old hub, at least one with new hub (introduced in 1900) over old hub, and with some slight features of the undertype visible. Among the more than three dozen die varieties described for this year, the O Over CC overmintmarks are the most important (and are described separately in the present book). VAM-29A has a very dramatic die crack on the obverse, an unusual feature for any Morgan dollar.
There are many mintmark positions of this year, most with medium O mintmark, with some exceptions.
