The 1878 Seven Tail Feather Morgan Silver Dollar – A Veritable Prize For Your Collection
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.
By the end of March 1878, the eagle’s tail feather design was revised to seven to depict the eagle more accurately. The Morgan dollar is thought to be one of America’s most beautiful coins. As a stand-alone art form, with a metal content of ninety percent silver and ten percent copper, these gorgeous, seven-tail feather Morgans are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The impressive, lustrous, seven-tail feather Morgans will be the focus of attention for years to come. Don't delay, get this Morgan silver dollar now at GovMint.com!

The dollars were minted from 1878-1904 and again for one more year in 1921. George T. Morgan, the designer of the exquisite Morgan silver dollar, designed the obverse and the reverse of the coin, which is thought to be, by many, the pinnacle of his career. Wearing a coronet with the word "Liberty" in her flowing hair, the portrait of Lady Liberty, facing left, takes up most of the obverse of this coin. She is surrounded by thirteen stars, the issue date and the words "E Pluribus Unum", meaning "Out of many, one". George Morgan’s monogram appears near Miss Liberty’s neck.
On the reverse sits the bald eagle with spread wings, perched on a branch and arrows. The eagle is partially surrounded by a wreath and above its head it reads "In God We Trust". The words "United States of America" is on the rim of the coin, separated by a star on either side from the words "One Dollar". Morgans struck at the Philadelphia Mint contain no mint mark.

What Determines Morgan Silver Dollar Values
Having a Morgan silver dollar is to own a coin with a tracing back to more than 100 years as this popular collector's item started circulating in 1878. Several mints across the US produced this silver coin until 1904, with a one-year edition issued in 1921.
Morgan Silver Dollar values today are essentially based on where the coin was minted. Those that came out from the Carson City, Nevada, mint would be more valued because the mintages there were usually low.
The coin's tails side featuring the bald eagle contains the code on the mint source, and hence provide the hint at the Morgan Silver Dollar Values. The letter codes are between the letters "D" and "O" in "DOLLAR". The mintmark "P" would indicate the Philadelphia Mint in Pennsylvania, "CC" for Carson City mint, "D" for the Denver, Colorado mint, "O" for coins from New Orleans, Louisiana, and "S" for those of San Francisco, California, make.
These coins were minted with the passage of the Bland-Allison Act in 1878 requiring US Treasury purchase of silver for general circulation as dollars. The initial coin issues were named after George T. Morgan, then the US Mint's designer, who rendered Lady Liberty on the obverse side bearing his monogram. The silver content of this coin totals 0.77344 troy ounces or 24.057 grams with .900 fineness. The Philadelphia mint exclusively produced all proofs of the Morgan silver dollar, although there are also 1921 proof coins known to have come from the San Francisco mint.
The many varieties of these coins has been included in an extensive research undertaken and published by Leroy C. Van Allen and A. George Allis about 50 years ago to establish the variations in the dies used to mint US silver dollars. This led to having the Morgan Silver Dollar Values indicated in its variety classified under the so-called VAMs (for Van Allen-Mallis).
