{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The Morgan Silver Dollar is among the most iconic coins ever struck by the United States Mint. Its release in 1878 brought silver dollar production back after a five-year break and replaced the older Seated Liberty Dollar. Provident Metals now offers 1879-S Morgan Dollar Silver Coins in certified condition.
Highlights:
Each 1879-S Morgan Dollar Silver Coin offered here comes with a PCGS Mint State 66 grade and is housed in a secure plastic slab. Coins at this level display bright luster and just a handful of small contact marks. A few light hairlines or scuffs may be visible under close inspection.
Obverse
On the obverse side of these 1879-S Morgan Dollar Coins is a portrait of Lady Liberty. Designed by George T. Morgan, Liberty is shown in profile facing left, wearing a Phrygian cap along with a crown and a laurel wreath. Thirteen stars surround her image, representing the original colonies. Inscriptions include E PLURIBUS UNUM, LIBERTY, and 1879.
Reverse
The reverse side of 1879-S Morgan Dollar Silver Coins features Morgans heraldic eagle design. The bald eagle is shown with outstretched wings and grasping arrows and an olive branch in its talons. This version of the heraldic eagle does not include the national shield that is commonly found on similar designs. Inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, ONE DOLLAR, and the S mint mark.
History
These 1879 Morgan Dollars reflect a time when silver mining was booming in the American West. The Bland-Allison Act of 1878 mandated that the U.S. government buy large amounts of silver for coinage, resulting in the widespread mintage of these coins. Four mints struck Morgan Dollars that year, with San Francisco producing over 9 million coins, second only to Philadelphia. Carson City issued the fewest, while New Orleans also had a modest output.
