Product Description
1878-S Morgan Silver Dollar Certified MS-63, Struck from bonanza silver mined from fabled sites like the Comstock Lode and Tombstone, the 1878-S San Francisco issue introduced the Morgan silver dollar to the West. It represented a day's pay for most Americans, so relatively few were saved in mint-state quality. Having newly opened, San Francisco's first five years of Morgan outputs are cited as the best struck in the 95-issue series thanks to the latest coining technology of the time. Of the 1878-1882 span, this 1878-S is the scarcest issue overall.
1882-O Morgan Silver Dollar Certified MS-63, Although the Old South's branch mint struck over six million Morgans in 1882, tremendous numbers were later lost in government melts. It's authoritatively estimated that as few as 162,000 — about 3% of the original output may survive today in mint-state quality and of those, only a fraction make the cut and qualify for higher grading. To put that into perspective, the finest known specimen graded MS-68+ was sold at auction in 2015 for almost $109,000 -making our MS-63 issues a heck of a deal!
