The Morgan Silver Dollar holds a revered place in American numismatics, captivating collectors for well over a century. Struck from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, these large, weighty coins embody the spirit of the American West and the expansive silver mining era that defined the late nineteenth century. This certified 1879 Morgan Dollar comes with an impressive MS66+ certification from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Right now, 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar Coins in certified condition are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin available here comes in MS66+ condition. The plus indicates a coin that represents peak quality for any numeric grade. The typical MS66 coin exhibits above-average mint luster with no more than three or four minor contact marks, as well as a few light hairlines visible under magnification.
The 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar from the Philadelphia Mint represents one of the earliest issues in this celebrated series, struck just one year after the coin’s introduction. Philadelphia produced a substantial mintage of approximately 14.8 million pieces that year, making the date broadly available in circulated grades, though choice and gem mint-state examples with full luster and sharp strike characteristics remain genuinely scarce and highly desirable.
For the obverse of the 1879 Morgan Dollar Coin, the design presents a dignified and finely detailed portrait of Liberty facing left, depicted as a classical American woman rather than the allegorical figures common to earlier coinage. The design was crafted by United States Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan, who modeled Liberty’s features after Anna Willess Williams, a Philadelphia schoolteacher celebrated for her classically ideal profile.
In the reverse design of 1879 Morgan Silver Dollars, the design element features a powerful and meticulously rendered image of the American bald eagle displayed with wings spread wide, its breast thrust forward in a posture of strength and national pride. The eagle clutches an olive branch in one talon and a bundle of arrows in the other, symbolizing the nation’s desire for peace tempered by its readiness to defend itself.
