1879 Morgan Silver Dollar, 90% Silver

A lovely 1879 Morgan dollar with something extra going for it — rich rainbow toning along the rim, shifting from deep blue to amber to gold. That kind of natural toning takes decades to develop and is exactly what collectors look for. Details: - Date: 1879 - Mint mark: none visible on reverse (Philadelphia, no mint mark) - Denomination: One Dollar - Series: Morgan Dollar - Silver content: 90% silver (pre-1965) - Obverse: Liberty portrait with good detail, light wear on cheek and hair high points - Reverse: Eagle sharp, wreath well-defined, strong overall strike Circulated with moderate wear, but the surfaces are clean and the toning is the real story here — original, undisturbed, and genuinely attractive. A nice example for any Morgan collector. The Morgan dollar's designer, George T. Morgan, used a Philadelphia schoolteacher named Anna Willess Williams as the model for Lady Liberty — she reportedly disliked the attention it brought her. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
