Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> Head of Liberty facing left with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border and the date 1879 below. The portrait is essentially a miniature of that featured on the regular issue Morgan silver dollar introduced in 1878. <strong>Rev:</strong> The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, denomination ONE DIME, and an arc of 13 stars are inscribed within a dotted circle. Surrounding the circle is a wreath of corn, tobacco, cotton, and wheat. Bright, fully brilliant surfaces exhibit razor sharp strike detail throughout the design. This popular type appeals to both pattern enthusiasts and advanced Morgan dollar collectors. The <em>uspatterns.com</em> website accounts for slightly more than a dozen silver impressions from these dies.
