1878-S Morgan Silver Dollar — San Francisco Mint

Own a classic piece of American numismatic history with this 1878-S Morgan Silver Dollar, struck at the San Francisco Mint during the inaugural year of the Morgan Silver Dollar series.

Designed by George T. Morgan, the Morgan Silver Dollar was first introduced in 1878 following the passage of the Bland-Allison Act, which restored the production of standard silver dollars in the United States. The series would become one of the most recognizable and widely collected in American coinage.

The obverse features a detailed portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with agricultural elements, while the reverse displays a majestic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch.

Struck in 90% silver, the 1878-S Morgan Dollar represents the beginning of an iconic American coin series. Its first-year status, historic San Francisco Mint origin, and classic design make it a desirable addition to collections of American silver dollars and 19th-century coinage.
