The 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar Tail-Feather Set

A trio of first-year Morgan Silver Dollars showcasing two scarce design errors!

• All three versions of the 1878 coin, including both “tail feather errors,” struck only in Philadelphia and among the most desired but rarely seen Morgans.
• The American bald eagle was first portrayed with 8 tail feathers — instead of the appropriate 7 — and struck for two weeks (less than four percent of 1878 coins).
• The U.S. Mint rushed to rectify the mistake, stamping the first dies with 7 tail feathers over the 8, yet on a few, traces of the original 8 feathers can still be seen.
• This created another error — the so-called 7/8 tail feathers, struck for just 10 days — before modified dies with 7 feathers finally replaced them.
• Includes a deluxe wooden Display Chest and a Collector’s Guide that provides captivating insight on the design and history of the coins.
• Presented in gently circulated condition (allowing you to see each variety clearly), in sonically sealed holders similar to those used by the leading coin-grading services.
