CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

This high mintage issue (11.8 million) was both widely distributed at the time of issue and also paid out in bag quantities beginning as early as 1938. The 1889-O is not known for its availability, but rather its poor striking quality. The result of this lack of details has the same effect as a lack of availability, i.e., very few pieces qualify at the Gem level. This piece is all white, but not quite fully struck.
