*Highlight* 1879-s Rev '78 Top 100 Near Top Pop! Morgan Dollar $1 ms65+ SEGS. A small portion of the more than 9.1 million Morgan dollars struck at San Francisco in 1879 employed leftover Reverse of 1878 dies that had been shipped to the branch mint the year prior. In A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars, fifth edition, Q. David Bowers estimates that 600,000 Reverse of 1878 coins may have been struck, since at least six different die pairs are known for the variety. Regardless of the number of coins struck, few survived the Pittman Act melts of 1918. Bowers recalls only one significant hoard of the issue -- the Redfield holdings -- but most of those coins were bagmarked. Sharp devices complement brilliant cartwheel luster, revealing no mentionable toning and only the most trivial contact marks. The obverse fields display a hint of reflectivity when tilted beneath a light, producing strong eye appeal. A Key Date's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
