Product Details This historically significant 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar, certified a Choice Uncirculated MS 63 by NGC, is a highly desirable first-year-of-issue variety specifically attributed as the 7 Tail Feathers, Reverse of '79. The obverse showcases George T. Morgan’s iconic profile of Lady Liberty facing left, adorned with a cotton and wheat blossom crown and a 'LIBERTY' inscribed headband, surrounded by thirteen stars, 'E PLURIBUS UNUM,' and the inaugural 1878 date, all resting on lustrous silver fields elegantly framed by deep, attractive peripheral toning. Transitioning to the reverse, the design features the distinctive 'Reverse of 1879' eagle—highly sought after for its rounded breast and slanted top arrow feather—displaying seven tail feathers while clutching an olive branch and arrows, beautifully framed by a classic laurel wreath, the 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' legend, and matching dark rim toning that perfectly contrasts the frosty white centers. Boasting excellent strike detail, problem-free surfaces, and the numismatic intrigue of a famous early Morgan Dollar hub change from the Philadelphia Mint, this classic 90% silver dollar offers collectors a fantastic opportunity to acquire a premium-grade, highly collectible variety for any advanced Morgan series set.
