The Morgan Silver Dollar began its journey as a minted coin in 1878, after a bill that passed causing the Seated Liberty to stop production. There were many bills passed and vetoed, in those first years, as the government tried to regulate the amount of silver being mined. The government also had silver reserves that were only to be used to melt and mint silver dollars. Those reserves ran out in 1904 and just like that, the Morgan's production also came to an end. It wasn't until 1918 that the reauthorization of the minting and mining of silver coins was passed. The Morgan dollar had one last hoorah in 1921 before the Peace dollar became the new silver dollar. Your 1879-S Morgan was minted in San Francisco and carries the "S" mint mark. It is considered to be in the lower brilliant uncirculated category, close to a MS61. Your coin is packaged in a coin flip to protect it while in transit.
