Description: Extremely well preserved surfaces and amazing luster combine with an exacting strike to produce a silver dollar of astounding quality. 1879-S is one of the common S-mint dates known for superb production, of course, and this would be a fantastic type example for the high-grade specialist. The entire coin is blast-white, with sizzling multi-spoked luster the embellishes cotton-white devices. (PCGS# 007092)

813The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$260.00
1879-S and 1881-S, both NGC MS-65.
Steve Deckling Collection. A pairing of the most common gems in the series look spectacular in NGC holders at the MS-65 level. 1879-S displays shimmering satin surfaces with trivial almond-peach...
814The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$310.00
1879-S NGC MS-66+.
Checkered Collection. Sensational snow-white quality shimmers with untoned beauty and a hint of cameo frost on the portrait. Tiny abrasions on the bridge of Liberty's nose may be what decided the...
763The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$270.00
1879-S ANACS MS-65 PL, and an 1884 ANACS MS-63 CAMEO PL.
Bradford Pear Collection. The 1884 does in fact show stronger prooflike contrast than its 1879-S companion, and evidently "The New ANACS" uses a "cameo" descriptor on such high-contrast prooflike...
854The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$600.00
1879-S NGC MS-66, 1882-S MS-66+ CAC.
Certainly neither date is rare even at MS-66, though the 1882-S picks up a "plus" and a sticker that emphasize exceptionally clean surfaces. Both are blazing white coins, with 1879-S showing some...
855The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$625.00
1879-S NGC MS-67, plus a second 1879-S NGC MS-64 Star.
7070 Collection. A few small dark spots drizzle here and there upon the MS-67 coin, and without them, this could become MS-68, as the quality is simply entirely "there", from an almost impossible...
964The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$270.00
1879-S NGC MS-65+, and an 1884-O NGC MS-65.
Clem Stevens Collection. Extremely white coins will look right at home among untoned pieces, as they have not the slightest tint of color anywhere. Despite production at different mints, these are...
691The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$260.00
Four 1879-S PCGS MS-64.
Perhaps PCGS should consider a "PL obverse" designation, as each of these would easily qualify, and one of the coins also seems to be nearly prooflike on the reverse. All are blistering white and...
692The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$450.00
Two 1879-S NGC MS-66.
Both display the booming luster always expected of the date, but one coin shows off snow-white surfaces while delicate silver-grey patina dashes here and there across the the other example. The...
693The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$925.00
1879-S, 1880-S, and 1898-O, all PCGS MS-66.
Though common dates, these should provide nice upgrades for many collectors focused on PCGS coins. 1879-S and 1880-S are both blast-white and incredibly well struck as usual, the latter coin showing...
694The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$525.00
1879-S NGC MS-66 star, and an 1881-S NGC MS-66.
NGC's "star" often denotes prooflike properties, and indeed the screaming white 1879-S dollar flashes a fully prooflike obverse. 1881-S shows off pure snow-white satiny mint frost and stellar...
695The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$310.00
1879-S NGC MS-66+ CAC.
The reverse easily grades MS-67, while the obverse retains amazingly clean fields, and both sides offer a hint of prooflike character. Perhaps a couple of tiny luster grazes on the cheek and neck...
683The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$900.00
1879-S PCGS MS-63PL, 1881-S PCGS MS-64, and 1894-S PCGS MS-61 (all...
Each is suitably graded in this trio, with brilliant white luster dominating the presentation. 1879-S has limited prooflike tendency despite the designation, while 1881-S is the usual lustrous...
684The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$340.00
1879-S, 1884-O/O (VAM-10, Hot 50), and an 1884-O. All PCGS MS-64 and...
A gorgeous band of beaming rainbow tones decorates the right side of 1879-S, and slivers across the upper right reverse as well. The phrase "colorfully toned" takes on a whole new level with regard...
685The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$750.00
1879-S PCGS MS-64PL, 1880-S NGC MS-66 PL, and an 1884-CC NGC MS-64 PL.
Prooflike character applies to each member of this trio, although none is a candidate for designation upgrade. 1879-S is graded MS-64 PL by PCGS, showing mostly white surfaces with gold accents on...
686The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$500.00
1879-S NGC MS-66 PL.
The dead-on accurate impression of a true proof is very impressive, including the obvious cameo contrast, but also the most extreme sharpness imaginable on both sides. Not even the tiniest of details...
833The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$400.00
Three 1879-S NGC MS-65.
A couple of these have semi-prooflike obverse fields, but these are more or less typically brilliant examples of this uber-common Morgan dollar issue. Hmph, and you thought we wouldn't notice. Three...
834The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$700.00
1879-S NGC MS-67+.
The wire brushed appearance of the reverse derives from a freshly polished die, and both sides offer considerable prooflike quality, probably deserving of "star" consideration. Instead, NGC used a...
638The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$675.00
Twenty 1879-S Morgan dollars, Uncirculated.
Consistent edge patina suggests that these white dollars are from an original roll, and grades will range between MS-62 and MS-64. The usual amazing luster for 1879-S is seen throughout this...
639The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$390.00
1879-S MS-64, 1880-S MS-64, and 1881-S MS-64, all in REDFIELD holders.
Redfield slabs encase common Morgan dollars, yet the coins are far less toned than what is usually seen for the hoard. 1879-S, 1880-S and 1881-S are included, the center coin being fully...
748The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$625.00
1879-S NGC MS-64 star, 1880-S NGC MS-65 PL, and 1880/9-S VAM-11 NGC...
An array of fabulous white brilliance shimmers beautifully from this trio of Morgan dollars, each one certified by NGC. 1879-S is graded MS-64 "star", the designation awarded without question because...
573The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$140.00
1879-S MS-64 and 1880 MS-62 toned Morgan dollars.
The obverse of the 1879-S and the reverse of the 1880 are toned in remarkably similar indigo-teal and magenta-gold colors, while their respective opposite sides are also coincidentally toned in nearly...
564The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$290.00
1879-S ANACS MS-64 UDM.
Outrageously reflective, even through the slab this coin displays thoroughly astounding reflectivity that literally can be measured in FEET, not just inches, and that observation is applicable to both...
907The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$625.00
1879-S and 1880-S.
The 1879-S is graded MS-66 in an older ANACS holder, and the 1880-S is graded MS-65 in a PCGS green label holder. Aside from "grade", the 1879-S is far and away the jewel of this lot, featuring...
908The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$310.00
1879-S and 1881-S NGC.
Disparate NGC grades fail to convey just how closely these two gorgeous, glittering Morgan dollars resemble each other. The 1879-S is graded MS-64 PL and absolutely seems undergraded until a loupe is...
909The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$220.00
Two 1879-S and four 1880-S. NGC MS-63*.
NGC's coveted "star" designation indicates prooflike obverses for each of the half-dozen Morgans in this lot, and every one is graded MS-63 "star". Two 1879-S and four 1880-S coins are included, all...
910The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$280.00
Six 1879-S NGC MS-64*.
Prooflike obverses provide the impetus for the "star" designation for these 1879-S Morgan dollars, all graded MS-64 "star" by NGC. Five coins are blast white, a sixth featuring amber blush across the...
911The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$200.00
1879-S NGC MS-66.
1879-S is such a common dollar in high grade that it is sometimes difficult go get excited about yet another "very gem" example, but this is simply a drop-dead gorgeous coin that is not overly...
912The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$310.00
1879-S NGC MS-66*.
While it is widely known that NGC will apply the coveted "star" designation to Morgan dollars featuring a one-sided cameo appearance, this seems to be a case where one side simply grades much higher...
747The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$850.00
1879-S, 1883-O and 1898. Paramount International Coin Corp. holders.
Redfield hoard dollars comprise this lot. Included are: 1879-S (MS-66), 1883-O (MS-63), and 1898 (MS-64). Though all three are common dates, what elevates this lot considerably is the quality of the...
748The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$290.00
1879-S NGC MS-65 PL.
Innumerable die polish lines fill the reverse with artistic eye appeal, and some cinnamon-magenta album toning gravitates to the edges. A no-question prooflike coin.
599The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$1,100.00
1879-S, 1881-S, and 1885 Morgan dollars.
A nifty lot of Morgan dollars that is comprised of: 1879-S (ANACS MS-66 PL), 1881-S (ANACS MS-66 PL), and 1885 (NGC MS-63 DMPL). The latter coin is in an no-line holder and is obviously VERY...
600The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$750.00
1879-S and 1902-S Morgan dollars, PCGS MS-64.
Accurately conveying the cameo appearance, PCGS has assigned an MS-64 PL grade to the 1879-S, a blindingly white coin. The 1902-S lacks any prooflike tendencies, but is just as white and also grades...
602The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$625.00
1879-S NGC MS-67.
Exceptional numismatic beauty takes shape in the form of an utterly blast white Morgan dollar that features both a marvelous strike and tremendous eye appeal. The reverse is nearly prooflike - an...

1879-S Morgan dollars, NGC MS-64
There is not even the slightest question in this cataloger's mind that NGC should have provided a "star" designation for this stunning Morgan dollar. Evocative of coins from the "Battle Creek"...

1879-S MS-64 PL, 1880-S MS-64 DMPL, and 1881-O MS-63++ DMPL.
This is an exemplary prooflike trio. The 1879-S specimen is deeply mirrored on the obverse, while the reverse is only prooflike. Each piece is virtually white, scantly marked, and acutely...

1879-S NGC MS-66 PL.
Highly reflective fields paired with frosty devices and a monster strike gives this Morgan a look that most 1879-S Dollars don’t have.

1879-S PCGS MS-66.
A breath of golden toning adorns the peripheries of both the obverse and reverse of this loftily graded Morgan Dollar. There is not one problem with this coin.
