The 1890-O Morgan silver dollar carries the popular "O" mint mark of the branch U.S. mint in New Orleans - known as the "Crescent City" for the way it wraps around a bend of the Mississippi River. The New Orleans Mint last struck U.S. coins in 1909, nearly a century ago. The 1890-O Morgan silver dollar is a genuine and significant souvenir of the old "Crescent City" mint, which witnessed momentous events in our nation`s history.
