The New Orleans Mint struck Morgans from 1879-1904. None were struck in 1878 & 1921
The first Morgan was struck in 1878 and no silver dollars were struck at the New Orleans Mint in 1865. Look at the coin again and post new question.
The mint mark position on all Morgan silver dollars is located between the wreath and the DO in DOLLAR. No mint mark = Philadelphia S = San Francisco O = New Orleans CC = Carson City D = Denver (1921 only)
I am not aware of a 1921 Morgan Dollar that carries a mint mark of "O." However, the 1921 series do carry mint marks of "D'" and "S." However, what is interseting about the 1921 Morgan Dollars is that they were produced by the US mint after a hiatus of 17 years - secondary to the The Pittman Act that required that all silver dollars be melted. More info - There could not be a 1921-O dollar because the New Orleans mint closed in 1909. 1921 was the only year that Morgan dollars were struck in Denver, because the Denver mint opened in 1906, two years into that hiatus.
Silver dollars do not have a hallmark. They often have mint marks, but not always. For example, a Morgan dollar with an O found on the bottom center of the side with the eagle was minted in New Orleans. Coins from the Philadelphia mint from before 1980 do not have a mint mark.
Yes, there is a difference. The Morgan Dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904 and then again in 1921, whereas the New Orleans Dollar typically refers to the silver dollars minted in New Orleans during the 19th century and early 20th century. The New Orleans Mint produced silver dollars alongside other US Mint facilities, such as Philadelphia and San Francisco.
The mint mark on Morgan dollars is located on the reverse side, towards the bottom, just above the letters "do" in the word "dollar."
A simple answer is the 1893, 1895 & 1903 Morgan dollars from the New Orleans Mint typicaly have the highest values.

No. All of the 1921 Morgan dollars were struck in Philadelphia, Denver or San Francisco.

The mint mark position on all Morgan dollars is above the DO in DOLLAR on the reverse. In 1881 these coins were struck at 4 mints: Philadelphia - no mint mark San Francisco - "S" New Orleans - "O" Carson City - "CC"

The 1900 Morgan dollars issued from the New Orleans Mint are known to have medium size mintmarks. This is not a recognized variety. The 1900-O Morgan is considered common. AU grade coins currently have values of $35.00-$40.00.
Please check again. The Denver Mint opened in 1906 and only struck Morgan dollars in 1921. You may be seeing a small O, for New Orleans.
