The 1898-O Morgan Dollar USAMorgan Silver Dollar dated 1898 and minted at the New Orleans branch of the US Mint. The 1898-O is easy to find and can usually be purchased at a reasonable price.
At one stage the 1898-O was thought as rare, but in 1962 the treasury opened a sealed vault and found a large amount of the 1898-O coins. So you should be able to find a high grade coin at a reasonable price.
The Obverse shows an image of Liberty, designed by George T Morgan. His initial 'M' is found on the truncation of the neck. The coin is named after the designer who at the time was United States Mint Assistant Engraver.
The edge is reeded (milled).
The Reverse shows an eagle holding arrows and an olive branch, also designed by George T Morgan.
In 1898, Mint marks can be found above the DO in DOLLAR. If no mint mark is present then the mint is Philadelphia, but it may be S (San Francisco) and O (New Orleans).Image credit: Mountain View Coins (via mycoinpictures.com)
