1878 Morgan Dollar - San Francisco - Uncirculated - Defender

The 1st Silver Dollar from the San Francisco Mint

The Morgan Silver Dollar was viewed by many as the #1 coin ever issued by the U.S. Mint, and it is easy to see why. Production of the Morgan Silver Dollar began in 1878 and was originally minted at only three United States Mints: Philadelphia, Carson City, and San Francisco. The light work schedule at the San Francisco Mint during these years allowed for the workers to take extra care in the production of their Morgan Silver Dollars. These early 'S' Mint Morgan Dollars are known for their strong razor-sharp strike, with superb luster and brilliant surfaces -- they are considered by many collectors to truly be the 'Best of the Best'.
