Patinated Gem Reverse of 1878
1879-S Morgan Dollar

1879-S $1 Reverse of 1878 MS65 PCGS. A Top 100 Variety. The Second Reverse, which has seven tailfeathers and a parallel top arrow feather. This variety was presumably struck on dies leftover from 1878, instead of newly arrived dies from Philadelphia. Peach-brown, cherry-red, and navy-blue enrich the margins, although the centers are only lightly toned. This lustrous and precisely struck Gem has a pristine reverse and no obtrusive obverse abrasions. Population: 45 in 65, 1 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P5, N2998)
