Like many dollars of the era, 1900-O Morgan Silver Dollars were not needed when they were minted. Many were relegated to long-term storage. Bags dribbled out of storage starting in the 1930s, with a much larger dispersal in 1962 to 1964 when hundreds of thousands of 1900-O dollars entered the marketplace.
Due to the higher mintage and survival rate, this issue remains readily available across all grade levels, with even gem examples available for less than $200.
A notable variety is the 1900-O/CC Morgan Dollar. It is estimated that this over-mintmark represents about 10% of the overall mintage. These coins are in steady demand due to their listing in the Red Book.
