Obverse

George T. Morgan’s remarkable design graces the obverse of the 1878-S Morgan Dollars, featuring the elegant bust of Lady Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap, a coronet crown, and a laurel wreatha true tribute to American ideals.

Reverse

The reverse side boasts a distinctive front-facing bald eagle design, setting it apart from the typical 19th-century coin designs. While lacking the US national shield, the eagle proudly extends its wings, clutching arrows of war and an olive branch of peace.

History

Back in 1878, the United States Mint was actively operating three branch mints, contributing to the nationwide production of the Morgan Silver Dollar. The Philadelphia Mint on the East Coast, the Carson City Mint in the American West, and the San Francisco Mint on the West Coast all played crucial roles in minting this historic coin.
