First-Year 1878-S Proof-Like Morgan Silver Dollar

 

When the U.S. Mint prepares new dies to strike circulating coinage, they’re given a special treatment that allows the blanks, or planchets, to maintain their luster for years to come. For the first few coins struck with freshly treated dies, the effect goes even further, creating mirror-like fields that are nearly as brilliant as those found on Proof coins.

 

We have a fine selection of Proof-Like Morgan Silver Dollars – in this case a first-year 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar struck at the famous San Francisco Mint. These coins were the workhorses of the American Wild West, struck from silver mined from Nevada’s famous Comstock Lode. Coins like these would have traveled in the saddlebags and pockets of cowboys, soldiers, gunfighters and settlers all across America’s Wild West.

 

Most Morgan Silver Dollars have been melted down for their silver content. It’s a near-miracle that these coins have survived still in Proof Like condition. Your 1878-S Morgan Silver Dollar has been graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in Mint State-64 Proof Like (MS64 PL) condition. Imagine a coin surviving for 140 years and still retaining that beautiful shine. This is an opportunity any Morgan collector would love. Secure yours now!
