Description
Lock down a fascinating piece of numismatic history! This 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar is a certified survivor from the very first year of the Morgan series, authenticated by PCGS as Genuine VF Detail (Cleaned) with the highly sought-after Reverse of 1878 (7 Tail Feathers).
When the U.S. Mint first released the Morgan dollar in 1878, a huge debate broke out over the eagle on the back. The original design showed 8 tail feathers, but experts pointed out that bald eagles only have an odd number! The Mint quickly changed the design to 7 Tail Feathers. This coin features that corrected, classic “Reverse of 1878” design with a flat eagle breast and a parallel top arrow feather. While PCGS noted old cleaning, the coin retains bold, sharp Very Fine (VF) details that showcase this historic variety beautifully.
