1878-1880 S-Mint Morgan Silver Dollar Set

These Brilliant Uncirculated coins were struck more than 130 years ago and ushered in a new era in U.S. coinage. The Morgan Silver Dollar was the legendary coin of the “Wild West.” As a result of its large size, solid silver content, stunning beauty, and historical importance, it is always in tremendous demand and is the most popular classic American coin.

This beautiful 3-coin set contains the sought-after first three years of Morgan Silver Dollars struck at the famous San Francisco Mint in 1878, 1879 and 1880. As with any variety of coin, the first three years are “key dates” to own and collectors seldom have the opportunity to buy them as a set. What’s more, the coin press operators at the San Francisco Mint were known to pay careful attention to their craft and Morgans minted in San Francisco are among the best struck in the entire series.

The obverse portrays Lady Liberty wearing a slave’s cap (an ancient symbol of freedom) with the word “Liberty” inscribed on a ribbon. The reverse features an American eagle holding both the olive branch of peace and arrows of war. The silver for these coins came from the famed Comstock Lode in Nevada. Due to massive meltdowns over the years for their precious silver content, just a fraction of these San Francisco Morgans remain for today’s collectors.
