1879-O Morgan Silver Dollar - 1879-O Morgan S$1 NGC MS62 CAC. This white, Southern branch mint, Mint State 1879-O Morgan Dollar could easily have been graded MS63 PL and is certainly above average. The MS62 is confirmed by CAC, which indicates that the coin is of premium quality and fully merits the grade assigned. The bright white surfaces have satiny, cartwheel luster with just a hint of russet at the rims. They are original and clean for the grade. The coin is well struck with full details on the hair above Libertys ear and on the feathers of the eagles breast.

George T. Morgan designed the dollar. It shows a close head of Liberty in profile facing left. She wears a headband inscribed LIBERTY. In her hair are cotton, corn, wheat, and tobacco. She wears a modified Phrygian cap and is surrounded with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, thirteen stars (seven left and six right), and the date. The reverse shows an eagle with wings raised looking left. In its talons are arrows and olive branch, symbols of preparedness and peace. A wreath is below and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is above. Except for the eagles wing tips, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR circumscribe the design. The mintmark is below the wreath and above the denomination.
