1895 O Morgan Silver Dollar – PCGS VG08 – Gold Shield – Key Date
Offered here is a 1895 O Morgan Silver Dollar, certified by PCGS as VG08 and housed in a desirable PCGS Gold Shield holder.
The 1895 O is one of the key dates of the Morgan Dollar series, with a low original mintage of just 450,000 coins from the New Orleans Mint. PCGS specifically notes that this issue is scarce in circulated grades and becomes exceptionally rare in Mint State, making it one of the most important dates for collectors working toward a complete Morgan Dollar set. PCGS
For collectors who want a genuine certified example of this important date without entering the extremely expensive higher-grade market, a solid circulated piece like this PCGS VG08 offers a very desirable way to fill a major hole in the series.
🔥 Why This Coin Stands Out
- 1895 O Morgan Silver Dollar
- Major key-date / condition-rarity issue
- Low original mintage of only 450,000
- Certified PCGS VG08
- Desirable PCGS Gold Shield holder
- Struck at the New Orleans Mint
- Classic 90% silver composition
- Important date for complete Morgan Dollar collections
- Much scarcer than common-date Morgan Dollars
- High-grade examples are famously difficult and expensive to obtain
- Excellent certified collector coin for a key-date set
PCGS describes the 1895 O as one of the toughest Morgan Dollars to locate in attractive condition and notes that no significant Mint State hoards are known. PCGS

The 1895 O is one of those dates that immediately stands out in a Morgan Dollar collection. With only 450,000 struck, it had one of the lower mintages in the series, and many examples were likely lost or melted over time. NGC also identifies the issue as one of the key conditional rarities of the Morgan series. NGC
That makes even circulated certified examples important to collectors, while Mint State coins can become dramatically more expensive.
