1879 Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS-64

The Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most recognizable and collected coins in American numismatics. This 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar, certified MS-64 by NGC, represents the second full year of production for the historic Morgan Dollar series and offers collectors an attractive Mint State example of one of America's most celebrated silver coins.

Designed by George T. Morgan, the Morgan Dollar debuted in 1878 following the passage of the Bland-Allison Act, which required the United States Mint to purchase large quantities of domestic silver for coinage. The series would continue through 1904 before returning briefly for one final year in 1921.

The obverse showcases Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap decorated with agricultural elements representing America's farming heritage, while the reverse displays a powerful heraldic eagle carrying arrows and an olive branch to symbolize the nation's readiness for both peace and defense.
