Obverse
The obverse of the 1879-S Morgan Dollar Coin features a classic design by George T. Morgan, showcasing Lady Liberty in left-profile relief. She is depicted wearing a Phrygian cap, with a laurel wreath and a coronet crown. Thirteen stars are arranged along the lower half of the coins field.
Reverse
On the reverse side of 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollars, youll find the heraldic eagle design, also created by Morgan. The eagle is shown with its wings spread wide, holding the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. Unlike some other designs, this eagle is not shielded by the US national emblem.
History
In the first 15 years of Morgan Silver Dollar production, four mintsPhiladelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans, and Carson Citywere responsible for striking these coins. Carson City, in particular, only minted the coins during select years from 1878 to 1893, making it rare to find Morgan Dollars from all four mints in any given year. The year 1879 is one of those rare instances.
