Description
1879-S Morgan Dollar, MS65
Reverse of 1878, Only a Few Finer
1879-S $1 Reverse of 1878 MS65 PCGS. A wisp of almond-gold
toning graces the dazzling surfaces of this intricately struck
Morgan. Rich, frosty luster contrasts starkly with semireflective
fields to produce an engaging cartwheel effect. The 1879-S is
common with a Third Reverse and is plentiful through Premium Gem
condition. Second Reverse examples (the 1878 reverse), however,
become conditionally scarce over MS64, and PCGS reports only two
numerically finer than this remarkable Gem (9/25). This piece fits
well into type collections and, as finer pieces are so rare, it
could also be considered for Registry sets.Ex: Fort Worth Signature (Heritage, 3/2010), lot 1320.(Registry values: P5, N2998)
