1879-S Morgan Dollar MS-63 PCGS
Struck in 1879 at the San Francisco Mint, this historic silver coin represents a classic era of American coinage. Minted with a composition containing 0.77344 troy ounces of silver, this piece has been graded in Mint State 63 condition, preserving the intricate details of its nineteenth-century design. The obverse side presents a left-facing profile of Liberty. She wears a Phrygian cap adorned with a hair band inscribed with the word "Liberty" amid thirteen stars. The Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum" and the 1879 date of issue frame this iconic portrait. On the reverse, a bald eagle holds an olive branch and arrows in its talons, representing peace and military readiness. This central image is encircled by the inscriptions "United States of America" and "One Dollar", while the motto "In God We Trust" is positioned above the eagle. The "S" mint mark is clearly visible, denoting its origin from the San Francisco Mint.
