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!
