WOW!!! You folks are posting pictures of some really great stuff!!!! Keep em coming!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!

 

Here's two - a 1904-O Morgan I just picked up in an affordable lot (not in hand yet, seller's picture) and my holed 1861-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar. The 1861 half dollars from the New Orleans Mint have the distinction of being the only issue in U.S. numismatics struck under the authority of three different authorities. Until March of 1861, 330,000 coins were struck for the Union. Then 1,240,000 were struck under the authority of the State of Louisiana. Finally 962,633 coins were struck under the authority of the Confederacy.

 

Very interesting! Thanks for the history lesson!! I had never even considered that as a possibility!!!

 

I love New Orleans Morgans

 

AU 1892 O Vam 15 ( I think)
XF-45 1891 O Vam 1A2

 

Scarce Obverse I transition variety, discovery coin, also with 1/1 RPD.

 

Oh! Here's an "O."

 

Golly gee dagnabbit you guys just made me depressed as I don't have ANY O mint coins. Maybe I could work a D into an O?

 

One slabbed and one raw. I think I like the raw one better.

 

Hah, I remember when you sold yours and the history associated - that's what prompted me to buy one that I could afford at the time - as yours was too nice for my budget then! Such a neat piece! That is a lovely coin!
