The 1898-O Morgan Dollar was struck at the New Orleans Mint with a recorded mintage of 4,440,000 coins — the 45th-lowest of the 96 circulation-strike issues in the morgan dollar series, and 31% of the 14,426,000 morgan dollars the Mint produced across all facilities in 1898.
One of the famous missing New Orleans dates alongside 1903-O and 1904-O until the 1962 Treasury releases made it common overnight.
