◆What is a Morgan Dollar?
Produced from 1878 to 1921, the Morgan dollar is one of the most sought-after classic U.S. silver coins and is named after its designer, British-born engraver George T. Morgan.
The 1899 Australian Mint mintage of 12.29 million coins may seem like a large number at first glance, but a large number were melted down under the Pittman Act of 1918, and only a small portion remains in circulation today.

◆ Circulation and scarcity of the 1899-0 Morgan dollar
The number of coins issued that year was 12.29 million, but as many of them were stored before being distributed, only a small number were in circulation.
Coins stored in Mint State (unused) condition, in particular, rarely appeared on the market until the U.S. Treasury Department opened its vaults in the 1960s.
In recent years, a variation known as the Micro-O (small O stamp) has been gaining attention, and there is a movement among collectors to pursue specific variations.
