Description

Add a breathtaking piece of late-19th-century history to your collection with this 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar, certified Mint State 65 (MS65) by NGC.

The 1879-S is widely celebrated by numismatists for being struck with exceptional care, often yielding superior cartwheel luster compared to other years. This gem specimen is a stellar representative of that trait: the obverse displays blazing, original cartwheel mint luster, wonderful frostiness across Liberty's cheek, and remarkably clean fields that deliver incredible eye appeal.

Flip the coin to the reverse, and you are greeted by a stunning transformation—the wreath and eagle are bathed in warm, radiant sunset-gold toning that adds an incredible layer of vintage character and originality. Finding a Gem MS65 Morgan that pairs a brilliant, high-lustrous face with a uniquely toned, colorful reverse is a true treat for collectors who appreciate multi-dimensional eye appeal.
