Owner Comments:
This is a nicely struck example of the 1879 Morgan. Big price point jump to move to the MS66! Philadelphia Mint 1879 dollars are plentiful in both circulated and Mint State grades, no surprise given its mintage of nearly 15 million coins. The quality of Mint State coins varies in strike and luster. All 1879 Morgan silver dollars have the Third Reverse type with slanting top arrow feather (SAF) and convex breast on the eagle. Most Mint State dollars are well struck, yet many exist with flat breast feathers on the eagle
