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: The Philadelphia, Carson City, and Fabled San Francisco Mints. 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!"
Unrivaled Quality from the ‘Old Granite Lady’ in San Francisco
The San Francisco Mint's new #1 job was to strike silver dollars, and many experts believe they have produced some of the finest examples in the series. Like the Philadelphia Mint (The main mint on the east coast), the San Francisco Mint (the main mint on the west coast) issued coins throughout the entire series - 1878 until 1904 and then again for a single year in 1921…With that said they still produced less than 18% of all Morgan Dollars, making them a rarity within a rarity! This first year of issue 1878 San Francisco Morgan Dollar is in a stunning Uncirculated condition and is both a series first and one of the finest ever struck…quite simply, it is a collector’s dream piece!
