1878 Morgan Silver Dollar (7TF)– Philadelphia Mint (No Mint Mark) – Early Morgan Issue (AU)
CA$125.00

The 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar (7 Tail Feathers variety) represents the final adopted reverse design of the first year of Morgan Dollar production. Struck at the dawn of America’s great silver dollar era, this coin features the iconic Lady Liberty portrait designed by George T. Morgan and the heraldic eagle reverse with seven distinct tail feathers, confirming the standard 7TF variety rather than the earlier 8TF or transitional 7/8TF types.

Minted in 90% silver during the historic silver boom following the Bland–Allison Act, the 1878 Morgan Dollar remains one of the most collected coins in American numismatics. The bold eagle with outstretched wings, olive branch, and arrows symbolizes national strength and unity during the Reconstruction period.

This example shows strong detail remaining in Liberty’s hair and eagle breast feathers, with honest circulation wear consistent with an estimated XF–AU condition range.

A cornerstone of any Morgan Dollar collection and a tangible piece of 19th-century American monetary history.
