The 1878 $1 Morgan Silver Dollar with 8 Tail Feathers is a prized numismatic artifact, notable for its historical significance. Designed by George T. Morgan, this coin was the first Morgan Dollar minted. Graded MS-65 by NGC, it boasts exceptional luster, sharp details, and minimal marks, placing it among the finest examples of early Morgan Dollars.
NGC has graded 435 as MS65 with 122 finer. Collector’s Universe (CU) prices this variety at $2,500 in MS65. Therefore, you will save $525 off the CU price when you buy this coin!
The 8 Tail Feathers variety is particularly significant as it represents the original reverse design of 1878, later modified to seven feathers due to design concerns. Struck in Philadelphia, this coin reflects the era’s return to the silver dollar—after an absence of four years—via the Bland-Allison Act. Its high grade and status as the first version of the Morgan dollar makes it an important issue for serious collectors of Morgan dollars. Collectors cherish its beauty and significance, making it a standout piece in any serious numismatic collection.
