The 1879-S Reverse of 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar is a desirable variety from the early years of the Morgan Dollar series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this variety features the earlier-style reverse with a flat eagle’s breast and parallel top arrow feather. This example has been authenticated and certified by PCGS in MS62, displaying full Mint State detail and attractive original luster, with marks consistent with the assigned grade.

Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features Lady Liberty, while the reverse depicts a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings. Its distinctive early reverse design, San Francisco Mint origin, and PCGS certification make it an excellent addition to a Morgan Dollar, VAM variety, or certified U.S. silver dollar collection.
