Through the 1950s the 1879-0 dollar was considered scarce in mint state, although AU pieces were plentiful
In 1957 thousands were released, and the market value plummeted. The 1962 Treasury release yielded multiple
bags. buy nothing like the quantities of other 0 Mint dollars turned loose at the time.
Die Varieties, 1879-0 O over Horizontal O Mintmark, VAM 4. This varietie is called O over Horizontal O by VAM,
who says it may be a triple punched ( But not over horizontal ) O, indicting that opinion is divided, Breen
dismisses the O over hortizontal O and calls it a triple punched O. The Top 100 Morgan Dollars Varieties calls it O
over Horizontal O and makes no mention of tripling.
