Description & Analysis

The 1887/6 Morgan dollar varieties were created when 1886 dies had the last digit of the date removed and replaced with a 7. However, the mint worker did not completely remove the 6, leaving a trace of the bottom loop. This created a couple of the most popular varieties in the entire Morgan dollar series.

1887/6 O TOP-100 Morgan Dollar Value

According to the NGC Price Guide, as of July 2025, a Morgan Dollar from 1887/6 O in circulated condition is worth between $47.50 and $475. However, on the open market 1887/6 O TOP-100 Silver Dollars in pristine, uncirculated condition sell for as much as $48500.
