1897-O Morgan Dollar ($1)

Frosty and lively for AU, this example shows bright cartwheel luster across satiny silver surfaces with a light champagne wash at the rims. High points display the barest rub, while the cheek and open fields are refreshingly clean for the grade, with only slight friction keeping it out of an MS holder. The strike is respectable with solid feather and hair definition, and the reverse retains a pleasing glow. Eye appeal is quite strong for an AU58, housed in a current NGC holder.
