Morgan Silver Dollar Fine Condition 1879-S

It's easy to forget what was happening in the US when our currency was being made. Owning a one hundred year old coin can make you wonder the events it lived through. In 1879, Thomas Edison completed the light bulb invention and introduced the concept of incandescent lighting. Deadwood, South Dakota experienced a major forest fire, leaving two thousand people homeless. The Specie Resumption Act took place, stating US currency notes are valued the same as gold since the Civil War. Your 1879-S Morgan was minted in San Francisco and carries the "S" mint mark and is in fine condition, containing smooth wear on Lady Liberty and the eagle's feathers. It has been said that Morgans minted in San Fran have comparably better quality than the others. The San Francisco Mint also goes down in history as one of the most successful US Mints to produce the Morgan silver dollar.
