1879-O Morgan Dollar MS-63 NGC
The 1879 Morgan silver dollar represents an early chapter in one of America's most celebrated coinage series. Minted at the historic New Orleans facility, this coin bears the distinctive 'O' mint mark, signaling its origin in the Crescent City. Out of a total mintage of 2,887,000 pieces for this specific year and mint combination, only a fraction survive in well-preserved, uncirculated condition. Crafted from 90 percent silver, each of these historic dollars contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse displays the classic profile of Liberty, with the year 1879 clearly visible at the base of the design. This particular specimen has been professionally certified and graded as Mint State 63 (MS-63), indicating a high level of original luster and detail that has survived for over a century.
