Description

1878 Morgan Silver Dollar. 7 Tailfeathers. Reverse of 1878. MS-65 DMPL (ANACS). OH.

Our offering of this beautiful Gem represents an important bidding opportunity for advanced Morgan dollar collectors. Brilliant apart from subtle iridescent gold peripheral highlights, both sides reveal a boldly cameo finish. The deep mirrored reflectivity in the fields forms an outstanding backdrop for sharply struck, satin to softly frosted design elements. Expertly preserved with abundant eye appeal. The Philadelphia Mint produced approximately 10,508,800 silver dollars for circulation in 1878, the first year of the Morgan design type. No records were kept concerning the mintages of 8 Tailfeathers, 7/8 Tailfeathers, and 7 Tailfeathers coins. The 7 Tailfeathers, Reverse of 1878 was the penultimate hub type settled upon after the short-lived 8 Tailfeathers and 7 Tailfeathers, Reverse of 1878 had been abandoned, and it is identifiable by the eagle's concave breast. This Deep Mirror Prooflike Gem is sure to attract a great deal of attention from specialists.

PCGS# 97075. NGC ID: 253K.
