This example, certified PCGS MS-65 and approved by CAC, displays the qualities collectors associate with high-grade 1878-S Morgans. Liberty’s portrait shows crisp hair detail and a well-defined ear, while the reverse exhibits strong feather definition and a bold eagle. Original luster remains vibrant across both sides, enhancing the overall presentation.
