The 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar represents a pivotal year in the series, struck at the San Francisco Mint during the height of the Comstock Lode silver boom. This particular example features a fascinating reverse struck through mint error, where foreign material interfered with the striking process, creating a unique numismatic variety. The 1879-S is considered one of the more available dates in the Morgan series, yet mint errors from this issue remain scarce and highly collectible.

The obverse displays George T. Morgan's iconic Liberty head design with flowing hair and coronet, surrounded by thirteen stars and the date. The reverse features the distinctive struck through error, where the heraldic eagle and surrounding elements show incomplete striking due to material obstruction during the minting process. Despite the error, the eagle's wings, olive branches, and arrows remain clearly defined, with the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR" visible around the rim.

NGC has assigned this coin a grade of MS-64+, indicating choice uncirculated condition with above-average eye appeal for the grade. The surfaces display attractive luster with minimal contact marks, while the mint error adds significant collector interest and numismatic value. Morgan Silver Dollars with documented mint errors are particularly sought after by specialists and error coin collectors. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
