The Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most widely collected US silver dollars, admired by collectors for its historic significance and enduring design. Struck during a pivotal era in American history, this coin connects modern collectors to the late 19th century when the United States was rapidly expanding its economy and silver production. Now, 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coins in Mint State condition are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
On the obverse, the 1879-S Silver Morgan Dollar displays George T. Morgan’s portrait of Lady Liberty. Shown in left-profile relief, Liberty wears a Phrygian cap along with a laurel wreath and coronet crown, symbols of freedom and honor.
The reverse side of the 1879-S Morgan Dollar Coin features George T. Morgan’s heraldic eagle design. This image shows a bald eagle with wings outstretched, clutching both arrows and an olive branch to represent America’s military readiness and commitment to peace.
The year 1879 represented a pivotal moment in American silver mining, with the Comstock Lode in Nevada still producing substantial quantities while new strikes in Colorado’s Leadville district dramatically increased national output. This boom year saw silver production surge as improved extraction techniques and railroad connections made previously inaccessible deposits economically viable, contributing to the ongoing debate over silver’s monetary role.
These 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are offered here in a protective plastic slab with an NGC Mint State 66 certification. These coins feature above-average luster and may exhibit a few small contact marks, some in primary focal areas. Hairlines might be present but are not visible without magnification. The included sticker from the CAC authenticates the NGC’s Mint State 66 grading.
