The San Francisco Mint goes down in history as one of the most successful US Mints to produce the Morgan silver dollar. It is also a known fact, among collectors, that the west coast mint produces some of the best quality coins among the US Mint sectors. Owning a one hundred year old coin can make you wonder the events it lived through. In 1879, 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. Thomas Edison completed the light bulb invention and introduced the concept of incandescent lighting. Your 1879-S Morgan was minted in San Francisco and carries the "S" mint mark and is in good-very good condition, containing smooth wear on Lady Liberty and the eagle's feathers.
