Struck in .900 fine silver with a weight of 26.73 grams, the Morgan Dollar series was authorized under the Bland-Allison Act to support silver mining and stabilize the U.S. economy. This coin is a historic representation of the nation’s industrial growth and monetary legacy in the late 19th century

The 7 Tailfeathers Reverse of 78 (7TF) Morgan Dollar is a distinctive variety resulting from a die modification during the first year of production. While the original 1878 design featured 8 tail feathers on the eagle, the U.S. Mint decided to reduce the eagle’s tail feathers to seven, aligning with heraldic standards. In some cases, dies were reworked, and traces of the previous 8-feather design may remain faintly visible beneath the new 7TF markings. This variation is highly sought after by collectors and numismatists due to its historical significance and relative scarcity compared to the more common 8TF design.
