1879-S Morgan $1 CACG MS64

The 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar is a high-quality issue from one of the most respected mints in U.S. history. Known for its strong strikes and brilliant surfaces, the San Francisco Mint delivered some of the finest Morgan Dollars in the entire series. This example, certified MS64 by CAC Grading (CACG), offers collectors a sharply detailed, near-Gem coin with bold luster and well-preserved surfaces.

Morgan Dollars are beloved for their iconic imagery and connection to the American West and industrial expansion of the late 19th century. Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse displays Liberty in a classical profile, wearing a cap adorned with wheat and cotton. The reverse features a powerful eagle standing with wings spread, symbolizing the strength and resolve of the post-Civil War United States.

With over 9 million coins struck in 1879 at the San Francisco Mint, this issue is common in lower grades but becomes much more attractive in Mint State. Coins graded MS64 offer an ideal blend of beauty and value, showing strong detail and vibrant luster with only minimal contact marks. This CACG-certified example captures all the quality and character one expects from a high-end Morgan Dollar.
