1878 Morgan Silver Dollar – 7/8 Tail Feathers – .900 Silver
This listing features an 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar, the first year of issue for the series. This example is the distinctive “7/8 Tail Feathers” variety, resulting from an overstrike modification of the original 8 Tail Feathers reverse design. The obverse presents George T. Morgan’s portrait of Liberty with flowing hair, while the reverse shows a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings clutching arrows and an olive branch, encircled by a laurel wreath. This transitional variety is of particular interest to collectors of Morgan dollars.
