  1. Interesting read but nowhere does it say that there were 1881O Branch Mint Proofs minted.

    The only "O" Branch Mint proofs were in 1879 & 1883 with very few of each produced.

    Here is a partial article on Branch Mint Proofs  from NGC

    1879-O Morgan Dollar. These were struck to mark the first of the denomination from the New Orleans Mint. Four or five examples are known, with one in the National Collection at the Smithsonian. A choice Proof example sold at auction in 2010 for nearly $200,000.

    1883-O Morgan Dollar. Two or three examples of this date and mint are known to exist. NGC has certified two examples. The reason for the issue is unknown. A superb example sold for $121,000 in 1997.1879 and 1883

    Also a Proof has polished fields with frosted devices which yours does not.
