An 1879 US Morgan silver dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint. This coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The obverse features the Morgan Liberty head design, and the reverse shows the heraldic eagle within a wreath. No mint mark is present on the reverse above the denomination. The coin features a reeded edge.


Condition report:

Very Fine. The surfaces show evidence of moderate circulation wear, particularly visible on the high points of Liberty’s hair and the eagle\'s breast. Mottled dark grey toning is present across both the obverse and reverse, with heavier concentration around the peripheral legends and stars. Numerous small contact marks and abrasions are visible in the fields.
