The 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar, minted at the Philadelphia Mint, boasts a mintage of 9,756,000 coins, making it a common date within the series yet still highly sought after for its classic design by George T. Morgan. This particular example features the iconic eagle reverse, which symbolizes strength and freedom, and is known for its striking detail and luster. While not a key date, its relative abundance does not diminish its collector appeal, especially in higher grades where it can command a premium. Technical observations reveal a well-defined strike with minimal contact marks, showcasing the coin's original cartwheel luster and eye appeal. As a staple in Morgan Dollar collections, this piece serves as an excellent type coin for both novice and seasoned collectors, contributing to the completion of a comprehensive series that reflects America's rich numismatic history.
