1878 Morgan Silver Dollar. 7 Tailfeathers. Reverse of 1878. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC.
This smartly impressed, fully lustrous example offers uncommonly smooth premium Gem quality for this first year Morgan dollar hub variety. Brilliant apart from delicate reddish-gold rim highlights in isolated areas. The Philadelphia Mint produced approximately 10,508,800 circulation strike silver dollars in 1878, approximately 7,200,000 examples of which are believed to have been of the 7 Tailfeathers, Reverse of 1878 variety. Mint State survivors are plentiful in an absolute sense, although with the quality that it possesses the present example is decidedly rare from a condition standpoint.
