General Notes: The 1888-O Scar Face Morgan dollar is an exceptionally popular variety showcasing a die crack that runs across Miss Liberty's face, spanning from the obverse rim in the 10 o'clock position down through Liberty's lower hair curls and beyond. Some of these pieces are early state die cracks, others late to terminal, and it is the latter versions that are normally considered true scar face coins, with prices conceivably higher for those pieces where the die crack is not nearly as evident. Understandably, as this variety is a result of a die in a late stage of life and PLs and DMPLs are created with new dies, there are no PLs or DMPLs known for this variety.
