1878-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-67 (NGC).

A bright and brilliant example with outstanding visual appeal. Technical quality is also superior with a razor sharp strike, full mint finish, and virtually pristine surfaces. As the premier San Francisco Mint issue in the Morgan series, the 1878-S is a perennial favorite among series specialists as well as more generalized silver dollar collectors. Although not as plentiful in an absolute sense as the 1879-S, 1880-S, 1881-S and 1882-S, the 1878-S is still readily obtainable in most Mint State grades. We stress that word "most" in this context for as a Superb Gem the 1878-S is very rare and seldom encountered. Here, then, is an important and fleeting bidding opportunity for the advanced collector.

PCGS# 7082. NGC ID: 253R.

NGC Census: 44; 2 finer in this category (both MS-67+).
