The 1883-O Morgan Dollar is not the greatest representation of all Morgan Dollars. The mass amount of them, being minted 8,725,000 coins, are of very different quality. One of the popular varieties of the 1883-O is VAM-4, which is a doubled mintmark. There are a few "branch mint proofs" of this dollar which means that the coin was made as a proof coin at a U.S. Mint that is not the Philadelphia Mint. These are pretty rare to find and can be worth a lot. A 1883-O Branch Mint Proof Morgan Dollar can be worth around $30,000 in MS-60 and then $150,000 as an MS-64 according to PCGS. The regular strike of the 1883-O can be worth around $30 as an MS-60 and about halfway between $4,000 and $5,000 in MS-67.
