The 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar Tail-Feather Set
The 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar Tail-Feather Set
A trio of first-year coins showcasing two scarce design errors!
In March 1878, U.S. Mint Director Henry R. Linderman took the first Morgan Silver Dollar to Washington, D.C. to present to President Rutherford B. Hayes. As legend goes, bird enthusiasts caused a commotion over an error. The American bald eagle was portrayed with 8 tail feathers — instead of the appropriate 7!
In Philadelphia, the Mint rushed to rectify the mistake as the first dies were stamped with 7 tail feathers over the 8. Yet on a few, traces of the original 8 feathers can still be seen, creating another error before modified dies replaced them on April 4.
These "errors” are among the scarcest Morgans. This exclusive offer from PCS Stamps & Coins includes all three versions.
