| Description |
Stunning brilliance and essentially perfect surfaces! It all comes down to quality and this is one of the top five Morgan Dollars certified of this date and Mint. When one considers that hundreds of bags of this date exist in Mint State, and this precise coin is tied with at most four others as the ultimate 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar, it presents a compelling opportunity. The radiant brilliance is undeterred by toning, and the vastness of frost on Liberty’s cheek and neck remains as fresh as the day it was struck. One minute kiss on Liberty’s jaw is all that separates this coin from an even higher grade. The reverse is just as nice, with a strong loupe needed to find any signs of contact! If you demand the finest, most powerfully preserved Morgan Dollar, then here is one to strive to obtain.
The Morgan Silver Dollars were borne out of the Comstock silver mines. Vast quantities of silver were discovered, and in a similar market adjustment to the price of gold after the quantity of gold hit the market in the 1850s from the California Gold Rush, the price of silver fell. Soon the powers that be contacted the appropriate governing officials and laws were made ready and passed that forced the government to buy domestic silver (from the Comstock Mines) for coinage into silver dollars, but at a premium price! This arrangement was to continue for some years, thus guaranteeing a much higher profit for the silver mined and the perfect end user for all this silver, coins! The coins could be spent, stored or saved, which effectively kept the silver from coming back to market and possibly suppressing prices again. Today, many of the 1879-S dollars that exist were held in canvas Mint bags for the better part of a century, with little care taken to preserve them. Therefore, only a comparative few retain the superb level of preservation, as the grading scale ascends, fewer and fewer are found. These canvas bags were also the source for the extraordinary colors that sometimes appear on the coins at the very top of the bag, where time and patience allowed every imaginable shade to form.
PCGS 104, NGC 165, CAC 42. We sold one of the other four coins at this grade level for $32,400.00 (12/14) and this one is virtually identical in quality and brightness. Finding such virtual perfection is a real challenge, but one that will always satisfy any successful bidder who will then know that the finest example has been obtained.
This coin is being sold with no reserve.
