1888-O "Hot Lips" Morgan Silver Dollar. The story behind the 1888-O "Hot Lips" Morgan Silver Dollar goes back to the early 1960s, when quantities of the Morgan, the famous Coin of the Old West, were released from long-ignored government vaults, including an amazing find: an 1888 Morgan Silver Dollar from the New Orleans Mint with a dramatic, double-strike minting error. This mistake doubled-up Miss Liberty's lips, nose and chin. Soon, this less-than-perfect rarity was dubbed the "Hot Lips" Morgan, and put Miss Liberty's lips on every collector's wish list! The historic New Orleans Mint produced only a few Morgans in 1888. Of these, only a small quantity display the double-strike error. Since only 17% of all Morgans still exist
