***Auction Highlight*** 1879-o Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms64+ By SEGS. Varying shades of tan and brown are marbled within the patina of this example. Softly impressed at the central reverse though the focal elephant motif remains bold on the obverse. Other scattered marks show under scrutiny but are well worn into the complexion. These pieces were likely struck at the Tower Mint in London and used as trade tokens in England. Examples with reverse inscriptions pertaining to London, as here, are the most plentiful, and they have been adopted by American collectors due to their association with the rarer Carolina and New England Elephant tokens.
