New Orleans never struck proof coins. Up to 1964 proofs were only made in Philadelphia. Assuming you have an uncirculated 1880-O Morgan, you'll need to have it professionally appraised. Depending on how well-struck the coin is, as of 03/2009 prices for uncirculated specimens range all the way from $55 to almost $2000. A certified dealer or appraiser would need to examine it in person because small differences in quality can mean a major difference in price.
