1878, Morgan Dollar

The 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar is an iconic coin in that there are so many variations of it. At the basic level there is the no mint mark coin created at the Philadelphia mint, and the S mint mark created at the San Francisco mint. And the illustrious CC mint mark created at the Carson City mint. Then there are variations of the Philadelphia minted coin that really set it apart: The eagle on the back can have 8 tail feathers, 7 tail feathers, and there is even one called 7 over 8 tail feathers, where some of the tail feathers actually appear to overlap other tail feathers. Then there are two version where the feathers on the arrowheads are slightly different. These are called reverses. The costs of this years series of Morgans are not expensive compared to some of the other years. Even the 1878 CC is in the affordable range. So have fun and get the entire series collection of 1878 Morgans.

I buy & sell coins as a fun relaxing hobby that's also an investment for my daughters future. I bought an 1878 Morgan, well several because it's the first in the Morgan family & I always try to buy the first & last in any coin series & then buy the best, lowest mintage coins in the series & try to upgrade as I go. Also in 1878 there are several varieties. Also I love to buy error coins & in 1878 when they minted the first coins people complained about the eagle having an odd # of feathers. The mint put 8 tail feathers & that wasn't correct so they changed the dies many times ending up with several variety's. Also I love to think about the history of every coin I buy; where the coin has been; who might have had it from one time to another; Whether it might have been in an outlaws hand & what wars it might have been in. In school I hated history & since I've been collecting I've learned so much more like remembering dates of wars & so on. Thanks to ebay it opens many ways, people & options for obtaining any coin , grade & the fun of the chase for obtaining any coin needed. A great hobby with many nice people I've learned from & got talk to. So many nice people willing to work with you to help give you the information u need to acquire every coin I could ever need. Thank U to ebay & my fellow ebayers for all the Help. A 5 star place with 5 star people!!!

I bought the 1878 Morgan because I was putting together a full set of Morgan silver dollars. It was a good experience, very nice coin and a good price. Why would you not buy at least the first year coin? It is recommended to all.

I like the 1878 Carson City Morgan Silver Dollar because it goes nice with my morgan dollar collection. It is a fantastic piece of history. There isn't anything I dislike about the 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar. The 1878 Carson City Morgan Dollar is great because certain carson city morgans are harder to come by than other morgans especially depending on the grade.

I bought this product to obtain this particular coin for my collection, being the first year.
I was very pleased when i received the coin. It was in beautiful condition. better than the photo from which I purchesed it from.
