While no exact production figures exist specifically for the desirable O over S (O/S) variety, surviving examples remain highly sought after by collectors specializing in Morgan Dollar varieties and New Orleans Mint issues.

Popular O Over S Overmintmark Variety

The 1882 O/S Morgan Dollar was created when a previously punched San Francisco Mint “S” mintmark was repunched with a New Orleans Mint “O” mintmark. This resulted in traces of the underlying “S” remaining visible beneath the final mintmark, creating one of the more recognized overmintmark varieties in the Morgan Dollar series.

Collectors value the O/S variety for both its visual interest and its connection to the minting practices of the late 19th century, when dies were often repurposed between branch mints to meet production needs.
