I think, based on eBay auctions, that "O" minted coins are a little more collectible and therefore a little higher priced.
New Orleans minted Morgan's can typically have a higher price tag due to the strikes on the Morgans weren't very good and very few came out of New Orleans with good strikes compared to those minted in San Francisco, Philadelphia, Denver and Carson city. But at the same time, New Orleans minted Morgan's cost less on average than those from other mints because of the high volume of Morgan's that were minted in New Orleans.

FWIW, I checked the mint mark on the Morgan I bought today and there is not one, which answers.com tells me is from the Philadelphia mint.

My oldest "O" dollar is an 1846, Seated Liberty (predecessor to the Morgan) silver dollar that is in VF condition. The "Liberty" on the shield is plainly visible along with all of the folds in Lady Liberty's robe similar to this one:
Any guess how much I paid for that coin on eBay? No cheating....don't look!
Hint: I really, really, REALLY wanted it!
