      Obverse Description: Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
      Reverse Description: The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
      General Notes: This is a common date through Gem levels and is known as high as at least MS68, though at that lofty level they are quite rare. Overall, the 1878-S has always been regarded as one of the more widely available pieces and has been sold in bag quantities through into at least the mid 1960s. PLs and DMPLs are understandably scarcer but are frequently encountered through MS65 levels with a few rare pieces touching as high as MS68.
