Morgan Dollars 1884-s SEGS graded Mint State 64. Light Toning. <b>As indicated on the SEGS grading holder this specimen has light toning that shades from neutral gray to russet and blazing gold, with the underlying fields flashy throughout. The shine with beautiful cartwheel spin effect from the light beams glancing off their pristine luster. The high points on this specimen, as on many 1884-S dollars, are a little less frosty, most noticeable over Liberty's ear and on the trailing curls that cascade down from her cap. Resumption of the silver dollar was authorized by the Act of February 28, 1878, known as the Bland-Allison Act. The weight, 412-1/2 grains and fineness .900 were to conform with the Act of January 18, 1837. George T. Morgan, formerly a pupil of Wyon in the Royal Mint in London, designed the new dollar. His initial M is found at the truncation of the neck, at the last tress. It also appears on the reverse on the left-hand loop of the ribbon. Branch mints at New Orleans, Carson City, San Francisco and later Denver struck the new dollars along with the home mint in Philadelphia. 1878-S to 1882-S dollars are very common, those of 1883-S much scarcer, and 1884-S scarcer still, particularly in uncirculated grades.</b> <p align="center">Superior Galleries was founded in 1929 and has been a leader in
