From the first year of issue, this 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar is a stunning example of the classic 7-tail design that was prevalent only during the first year of issue. The famous 7-tail design was replaced the next year, and the term reflects the appearance of only seven tail feathers on the eagle in the reverse design. Right now, 1878-7TF Morgan Silver Dollar Coins in certified condition are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1878-7TF Morgan Silver Dollar Coin is available here in MS66 condition. Coins in this condition have no more than three or four minor, noticeable contact marks and no hairlines visible without magnification. This particular specimen has bright white, frosted luster on both sides, with crisp relief on the obverse and sharply defined details on the reverse.
The Morgan Silver Dollar debuted in 1878 amid intense political and economic turmoil following the Panic of 1873 and the subsequent depression. The Bland-Allison Act of 1878 mandated the U.S. Treasury purchase and coin between $2-4 million worth of silver monthly, primarily to benefit Western silver mining interests whose metal had been demonetized in 1873.
The obverse of 1878-7TF Morgan Dollar Coins comes with Morgan’s depiction of Lady Liberty. This left-profile effigy depicts Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with a laurel wreath and a coronet crown on her head. The date of issue is at the bottom of the field with seven stars to the left and six to the right.
On the reverse of 1878-7TF Morgan Silver Dollars is the heraldic eagle of the United States. This particular design is known as the 7TF, with Reverse of 1879. The 7TF refers to the presence of only seven tail feathers on the eagle, while the Reverse of 1879 refers not to the coin being issued in 1879, but to the enhanced 3D relief on the puffed chest of the eagle. The original 1878 Morgans had a flat chest on the eagle, with coins issued later in the year boasting greater 3D relief. It is known as Reverse of 1879 because the puffed chest would go on to feature on the coins throughout 1879. This unique variation in 1878 reflects the rapid refinement of Morgan Dollar dies used by the mint in the inaugural issue.
