The 1888-O Morgan Dollar "Hot Lips" variety is a fascinating and highly sought-after error coin that brings a unique twist to the classic Morgan Dollar series. Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this coin remained unnoticed for over 50 years until collectors in the mid-20th century discovered an extraordinary doubled-die obverse (DDO) error. The error prominently affects Lady Liberty’s face, creating an unmistakable doubling of her lips and chin—earning it the memorable nickname "Hot Lips."
This intriguing variety, officially designated as VAM-4, has earned a place among the Top-100 VAMs, making it a must-have for error coin enthusiasts and Morgan Dollar collectors alike. Despite a generous original mintage exceeding 12 million pieces, only an estimated 0.009% of all 1888-O Morgan Dollars exhibit this striking DDO anomaly. This extreme rarity elevates the "Hot Lips" variety to an elite status in the numismatic world.
Certified genuine by NGC, this example ensures authenticity and solidifies its place as a prized collectible. With its bold, naked-eye-visible doubling and historical significance, the 1888-O Morgan Dollar "Hot Lips" is an eye-catching and conversation-starting piece that no serious Morgan Dollar collection should be without.
