Design and Specifications of the 1879 Dollar

The 1879 Morgan Dollar was part of the early years of the Morgan Dollar series, which began in 1878. This coin was minted during a period of significant silver production in the United States, particularly from the Comstock Lode in Nevada. The Morgan Dollar, named after its designer George T. Morgan, became an iconic symbol of the American West and the nation's silver mining industry.

Weight 26.73 grams
Diameter 38.1 mm
Mint Marks Philadelphia (no mint mark), San Francisco (S), Carson City (CC), New Orleans (O)
Composition 90% silver, 10% copper
Obverse Design Liberty Head (Morgan Dollar), designed by George T. Morgan
Reverse Design Eagle with wings spread, designed by George T. Morgan

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

The condition of 1879 Morgan Dollars significantly impacts their value. Coins in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) command substantial premiums, especially for the Carson City mint. The presence of original mint luster and absence of contact marks are crucial factors. For circulated coins, details in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers are key areas for grading.

Toning can also affect value, with attractively toned specimens often commanding higher prices. The Carson City mint coins are particularly valuable in high grades due to their lower mintage and historical significance.

Mint mark rarity plays a significant role in the value of 1879 Morgan Dollars. The Carson City (CC) mint coins are the most sought-after due to their low mintage and the mint's association with the Old West. The New Orleans (O) mint coins are also popular among collectors.

Die varieties, such as the Capped Die variety for Carson City coins, can significantly increase value. Prooflike and Deep Mirror Prooflike surfaces on business strikes can also command premiums, especially for the scarcer mints. The overall quality of the strike is important, with well-struck coins being more desirable, particularly for the New Orleans mint, which often produced coins with weaker strikes.
