The 1901-O Morgan is one of the abundant later date New Orleans Morgans. Like coins of other years, quality varies a lot and the tendency is for a weak strike, soft details from heavy die use, and satiny luster. Cherrypicking is required for a well-struck specimen and can make selection of a 1901-O more interesting. Prooflike coins are available, but not very common, and typically have poor contrast, shallow mirrors, and plenty of bag marks. There are a few strong die clashes for 1901-O, including VAM 1A and VAM 25A, but the star of the date is the rare VAM 34, with a strongly doubled eyelid. There are also a few desirable contemporary counterfeits, including VAM 42, which is a Micro O sharing the reverse with the other Micro O counterfeits. A few other contemporary counterfeits were made by the same counterfeiters. VAM 46 is known with a rotated reverse.
