1878 Morgan Silver Dollar 7 Tail Feathers, Reverse of 1879 – ICG MS63
Own an important early variety of the iconic Morgan Dollar with this 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar 7 Tail Feathers, Reverse of 1879, certified ICG MS63. As one of the major reverse varieties of the 1878 7 Tail Feathers issue, the Reverse of 1879 is particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate the fascinating design evolution of the Morgan Dollar series.
Graded Mint State 63 (MS63) by ICG, this coin is fully uncirculated and retains attractive original mint luster with strong overall detail. The MS63 grade allows for some contact marks and minor abrasions consistent with the grade, while the coin maintains the classic appearance of a Mint State Morgan Dollar.
The 7 Tail Feathers, Reverse of 1879 variety can be distinguished by the eagle's rounded breast and the slanted top arrow feather on the reverse. It is the scarcer of the two major 1878 7 Tail Feathers reverse varieties, adding additional collector interest to this already historic first-year Morgan Dollar issue.
Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features Liberty wearing her iconic Phrygian cap, while the reverse showcases a majestic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch. Struck in 90% silver, the Morgan Dollar remains one of America's most collected classic U.S. coins.
The 1878 Morgan Dollar is especially significant as the first year of the Morgan Dollar series, and the various 1878 reverse designs document the rapid evolution of the coin's original design. This MS63 example combines that historical significance with a desirable and collectible Reverse of 1879 variety.
