1878 7TF S$1 Reverse of 1879 MS66 NGC. The 1878 7 tail
<B>1878 7TF S$1 Reverse of 1879 MS66 NGC.</B></I> The 1878 7 tail feathers issue was struck in two major reverse variations: the first with parallel top arrow feather, and concave breast on the eagle, often referred to as the Reverse of 1878, and the second variation, referred to as the Reverse of 1879, with a slanting top arrow feather, and convex, or rounded, breast to the eagle. The latter variety is considered to be scarcer in both circulated and Mint State grades. Q. David Bowers, in <I>The Official Red Book of Morgan Silver Dollar</B></I> estimates only 50 to 100 survivors in MS65 or better, versus an estimate of 1,000 to 2,000 MS65 or better Reverse of 1878 survivors. The Reverse of 1879 example we offer here is exquisitely struck, virtually untoned and brilliant, and essentially free of any mentionable marks. This coin is sure to excite the advanced Morgan dollar collector.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
