In the initial phase of production for the Morgan Silver Dollar, the United States Mint relied on four branch facilities to strike coins for nationwide circulation. These included the Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carson City, and San Francisco Mints. Today, 1878-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The Morgan dollar’s history reflects the economic and political turbulence of its era. Many of the millions of dollars struck never actually circulated but were instead held in Treasury vaults as backing for silver certificates. The coin’s fate became intertwined with the heated “Free Silver” debate that dominated American politics in the late 19th century, eventually becoming a central issue in the presidential election of 1896.
All 1878-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coins offered here are in Mint State 63 condition. Coins in this condition have slightly impaired mint luster with numerous small contact marks. It is also possible for the coins to showcase a few scattered heavy marks and small hairlines visible without magnification. Philadelphia and San Francisco had near-identical mintage levels in 1878, with the former producing 9,759,300 coins and the latter issuing 9,774,000 coins, giving San Francisco the edge in production volume. The Carson City Mint also produced 2,212,000 coins.
On the obverse of 1878-S Morgan Dollar Coins, George T. Morgan’s portrait of Liberty takes center stage. Liberty is presented in left-profile relief, wearing a Phrygian cap, a coronet crown, and a wreath of laurel on her head. Surrounding her figure are 13 stars symbolizing the original colonies.
The reverse of 1878-S Morgan Silver Dollars carries Morgan’s complementary heraldic eagle design. This features a frontal view of an American bald eagle with wings spread, grasping arrows of war in one talon and an olive branch of peace in the other.
