Morgan Silver dollars satisfy the needs of both investors and collectors but all is lost if their history isn't known as well. The Morgans history reveals the complications with trying to regulate something that was being mined freely. Since silver was being free-mined, it was a constant challenge for the government to try and regulate its production. The Coinage Act of 1873 put to rest the Seated Liberty dollar and introduced the new and exciting Morgan silver dollar. George T. Morgan, the designer of the Morgan silver dollar, also raised eyebrows with his interpretation of Lady Liberty. The traditional portrait, of the Lady, usually consists of a full body view. Instead, Morgan wanted to focus on the beauty that is Lady Liberty's face; removing her body from the portrait all together. Your 1879 Morgan silver dollar was minted in Philadelphia but does not carry a mint mark. This coin is considered extra fine with visible wear on the surface.
