1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS-64

The 1879-S Morgan Dollar reflects the precision and consistency of the San Francisco Mint, which gained a reputation for producing some of the sharpest strikes in the series. This issue, struck only in the second year of Morgan Dollar production, demonstrates the growing popularity of America’s new silver dollar design.

The obverse highlights Liberty in classical style, a design that symbolized the country’s renewed optimism after the turmoil of the 1870s. On the reverse, a powerful eagle rests with wings extended, holding arrows and an olive branch, underscoring both American strength and peace.

Certified by NGC as Mint State 64, this coin displays attractive luster and detail typical of San Francisco issues. While millions were minted, the survival of high-grade examples makes them a cornerstone for Morgan collectors who value both beauty and historical significance.

A strong addition to any serious silver dollar collection, the 1879-S combines early-series status with excellent eye appeal.
