Unearth the fascinating history of the Morgan Dollar, an iconic coin that came into existence with the passage of the Bland-Allison Act in 1878. After a five-year pause in silver coining, the United States Mint resumed production of silver dollars, enlisting Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan to create an enduring new design. Now, you have the opportunity to own the 1879 Morgan Dollar Silver Coins in certified condition, available for purchase online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin offered here boasts an impressive Mint State 63 condition. Coins with this grade exhibit slightly impaired mint luster, with minor contact marks, scattered heavy marks, and small hairlines visible without magnification.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 1879 Morgan Dollar Coin, you’ll find a captivating bust of Lady Liberty. Morgan’s design portrays Liberty’s left-profile relief, featuring a Phrygian cap on her head, a coronet crown, and a laurel wreath in her hair. Inscriptions include E PLURIBUS UNUM, LIBERTY, and 1879.
Reverse
The reverse face of the 1879 Morgan Silver Dollars depicts the impressive heraldic eagle, another masterpiece from Morgan’s artistic vision. The American bald eagle takes center stage in front-facing relief, proudly spreading its wings while holding the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons. The inscriptions on this face read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, and ONE DOLLAR.
History
The introduction of the Morgan Silver Dollar in 1878 marked the return of silver dollar coining in the United States after a five-year hiatus, replacing the Seated Liberty Dollar that had been in circulation from 1840 to 1873.
