Morgan Dollars occupy a uniquely prestigious position in American numismatics, representing both artistic achievement and a pivotal era in the nation’s monetary history. For modern collectors, their appeal extends well beyond silver content. These coins serve as tangible connections to the American West, the Gilded Age, and the broader story of 19th-century commerce. Their consistent demand in the marketplace, robust grading standards, and deep historical documentation make them one of the most dependable and rewarding series to pursue in all of United States coinage. This 1879-S Morgan Dollar comes from the second year of issue and not only has an MS67+ certification from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), but also features grade authentication from the Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC). Right now, 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollars are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar comes in MS67+ condition, indicating a coin that represents the highest standards for an MS67 specimen. The coin has full, original luster and no more than three or four minuscule contact marks. This specimen features an intense luster with largely pristine surfaces. This 1879-S is one of the finest survivors from this early San Francisco release, and the green CAC sticker verifies that it is among the finest examples of its assigned grade.
The 1879-S Morgan Dollar, struck at the San Francisco Mint, is among the most collected and widely available issues from the series’ early years, with a mintage of approximately 9.1 million coins. San Francisco’s reputation for careful minting practices is well reflected in this issue, as many examples survive in high grades with strong luster and sharp strikes.
In the obverse design of 1879-S Morgan Dollar Coins, you will find a left-profile portrait of Lady Liberty. Designed by George T. Morgan, the portrait was modeled after Anna Willess Williams, a Philadelphia schoolteacher whose refined profile gave the design a sense of dignity and realism uncommon in coin portraiture of the era. Liberty wears a Phrygian cap adorned with a wheat wreath and cotton blossoms, agricultural symbols intended to reflect the productivity and abundance of the American nation.
For the reverse of the 18790S Morgan Silver Dollar, the heraldic eagle is displayed with wings spread, clutching an olive branch in its right talon and a bundle of arrows in its left as traditional symbols of peace and military readiness. The overall design achieves a careful balance between ornamental richness and symbolic clarity, making the reverse a fitting complement to the refined classical imagery found on the obverse.
