I had to use four different credit cards before one was accepted. They all have a very large balance of available credit. Maybe it’s the credit card company’s fault anyway I finally got it done

Introduction
The 1887-O $1 Morgan Dollar graded PCGS MS63 is a Choice Mint State example of the classic American silver dollar. Struck at the New Orleans Mint, this coin contains .7734 troy oz of pure silver and offers collectors an uncirculated example from one of the most popular branch mints of the Morgan Dollar series.
History
Designed by George T. Morgan, the Morgan Dollar was introduced in 1878 and became one of the most recognizable coins in American numismatics. The New Orleans Mint began producing Morgan Dollars in 1879 and continued striking the denomination through 1904.
The New Orleans Mint struck 11,550,000 Morgan Dollars in 1887. Large numbers survived in government storage, with additional quantities entering the market through Treasury releases during the 20th century. While the 1887-O remains relatively available in lower Mint State grades, the issue is frequently encountered with soft strikes, subdued luster, and noticeable bag marks. Well-preserved examples become increasingly difficult to find at higher Mint State levels.
Design
The obverse features George T. Morgan's portrait of Liberty facing left, surrounded by thirteen stars and the inscriptions E PLURIBUS UNUM and 1887. Morgan modeled Liberty after Anna Willess Williams, creating a distinctly American interpretation of the traditional Liberty portrait.
The reverse depicts an eagle with outstretched wings holding arrows and an olive branch. A wreath surrounds the eagle, while the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, and ONE DOLLAR complete the design. The O mintmark beneath the wreath identifies the coin as a product of the New Orleans Mint.
