The Morgan Silver Dollar was struck in large volumes in the 19th century, with rarity and uniqueness found in the condition and subtle variations of any given issue. The 1897-S Morgan Dollar is just such an example, with only 252 coins graded at Mint State 67. Two particularly unique aspects of the 1879-S are the slanted feather on the arrow and the rounded breast of the eagle. Today, the 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar in Mint State 67+ condition is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The Morgan Silver Dollar was introduced in 1878 by the United States Mint. The release of Morgan Dollars marked the return of silver dollar production in the US following the suspension of silver dollars in 1873. George T. Morgan was the designer behind the Morgan Dollar, his first major contribution to the US Mint as an Assistant Engraver.
This 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar comes in Mint State 67+ condition. Typical coins at this grade have original mint luster with three to four minuscule contact marks, one or two of which may appear in the primary focal fields. Overall, this coin has an exceptional level of eye appeal.
On the obverse of 1879-S Morgan Dollars, you will find a left-profile bust of Lady Liberty. This design shows Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap on her head with a coronet crown and a laurel wreath on top of her head. The field includes the year of issue and 13 stars.
The reverse side of the 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar has a depiction of the heraldic eagle. This image, also created by Morgan, includes a bald eagle in front-facing relief as it looks its right (viewer’s left). The eagle is shown clutching the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons.
