Description
1879-S Morgan Dollar, NGC MS67. This exceptional 1879-S Morgan Dollar represents a significant example from the San Francisco Mint's prolific coinage year. The coin exhibits the characteristic design by George T. Morgan, featuring Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle displayed on the reverse, both rendered with the artistic quality that defined this iconic series. Graded MS67 by NGC (Certificate #8983228001), this specimen demonstrates impressive eye appeal and luster preservation befitting its near-gem designation. The 1879-S is a key date in Morgan Dollar collecting, and examples in this grade command strong collector interest. The San Francisco Mint's output during this period produced coins that have become increasingly difficult to locate in superior grades, making this offering particularly noteworthy for both type collectors and date specialists. The coin's technical specifications and striking quality reflect the standards of San Francisco Mint production during the height of the Morgan Dollar era. Collectors of American silver dollars will recognize the significance of acquiring a well-preserved example of this historically important issue.
