1878-S Morgan Silver Dollar $1 PCGS MS 63
Bullion Exchanges presents the 1878-S Morgan Silver Dollar, a beautifully preserved example of one of America’s most iconic silver dollars. Struck from 0.7734 troy ounces of .900 fine silver, graded MS 63 by PCGS, this coin offers a lustrous strike with appealing mint-state quality, making it a valuable addition to both numismatic collections and investment portfolios.
The Morgan Silver Dollar, designed by George T. Morgan, was first struck in 1878 to commemorate the resumption of the U.S. silver dollar following the Bland-Allison Act. The “S” mint mark denotes its production at the San Francisco Mint, which was known for producing coins with deep, sharp details. This 1878-S issue captures a pivotal moment in U.S. coinage history, representing the post-Civil War expansion of commerce and the nation’s growing industrial might. Morgan Dollars circulated widely in commerce, but today surviving mint-state examples are highly sought after by collectors.
