The Morgan Silver Dollar is arguably the most well-known US silver dollar. Introduced in 1878, it marked both the restart of silver dollar production following a five-year hiatus and the end of the Seated Liberty Dollar, which had been effectively canceled in 1873 when silver dollar coining was halted. Right now, 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available in certified condition from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coin available here comes in a protective slab and boasts an MS66 certification. Coins in this condition exhibit an above-average mint luster for the age and no more than three or four minor contact marks. Light hairlines may be visible under magnification, with the possibility of one or two light scuff marks.
The 1879 Morgan dollars were struck during a period when silver mining was booming in the American West, and the Bland-Allison Act of 1878 required the government to purchase substantial quantities of silver for coinage, making these dollars a direct result of political and economic pressures of the era. Four branch mints issued Morgan Dollars in 1879, with S-Morgan Dollars boasting the second highest mintage by Philadelphia coins, with New Orleans issuing 2,887,000 coins and Carson City striking the fewest at 756,000 coins.
Lady Liberty is found on the obverse of 1879-S Morgan Dollar Coins. Created by George T. Morgan, this left-profile bust depicts Liberty with flowing hair, a Phrygian cap on her head, a laurel wreath, and a coronet crown. There are 13 stars included on this side of the coin.
The heraldic eagle is featured in the reverse design of 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollars. Also created by Morgan, this image shows the bald eagle in front-facing relief with the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons. Notably absent, compared to other heraldic eagle designs of the era, is the US national shield.
