The 1888-O Hot Lips Morgan dollar is one of the most popular doubled die varieties in the Morgan dollar series and as such enjoys exceptional demand. However, the vast majority of these pieces are known in circulated grades, with a very small number known in MS grades. PLs and DMPLs are almost impossible to find. Premiums are very strong for all pieces in the AU range and up.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
