PCGS Graded 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar G06 Reverse of 1878

The 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar with the rare Reverse of 1878 is a distinctive piece of American numismatic history. Minted at the San Francisco Mint, this dollar features the iconic Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle in repose on the reverse—characteristic of Morgan dollars struck between 1878 and 1904.

The G06 grade, assigned by PCGS, indicates Good condition. At this grade level, the coin displays moderate wear consistent with historical circulation. Major design elements remain visible, though details show considerable smoothing from age and handling. The date and mintmark are clearly readable. This coin features the reverse design from 1878, which differs subtly from later 1879 reverses in elements like eagle feather placement and shield details—making it a sought-after variant for serious collectors.
