1878-S Morgan Silver Dollar:
The Morgan silver dollar is still heralded as one of the most beautiful coins ever minted to this day. In 1918 the US Mint decided to melt down a total of 270,232,722 Morgan silver dollars and possibly early issues due to silver shortages. Melting was done in part to start up new production of silver dollars. Due to this large melting of silver dollars many mintage figures are incorrect.
The 1878 Morgan silver dollar is the first year of mintage and comes in a number of varieties. This coin was minted at the San Francisco Mint. San Francisco was known for its notoriously well struck coins with excellent eye appeal.
