The year 1878 was the very first year of issue for the Morgan silver dollar. Due to the Bland-Allison Act, the U.S. Treasury Department was dictated to purchase millions of ounces of silver each month, even though these quantities were not needed for coinage. They decided to strike the silver in the easiest form—the silver dollar. George T. Morgan, who came to America in 1876 from England, created the design known today as the Morgan dollar. A furor arose however, when the coin came out because of an attribute on the reverse of the coin. Its eagle had eight tail feathers instead of the traditional seven.
