Hi Laurie,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

In 1879, the U.S. Mint produced Morgan Silver Dollars, which are often referred to as "Liberty" silver dollars because they feature Lady Liberty on the obverse.
The total mintage for 1879 Morgan Dollars across all mints is as follows:
Philadelphia (no mint mark): 14,806,000
Carson City (CC): 756,000
San Francisco (S): 9,110,000
New Orleans (O): 2,887,000

According to the APMEX (the American Precious Metals Exchange), the value of this coin ranges from $51 for the coin in Good-4 rate to $4,582 for one in PR (Proof)-63.

Mearto can neither authenticate nor rate coins or other collectibles from photos but judging from the photos, this is probably worth between $50 and $60.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
