1878 Morgan Dollar ($1) 7TF Rev Of 1879 - Vam 210B
ANACS MS63
The 1878 Morgan Dollar with Reverse of 1879 represents a fascinating transitional variety in the first year of Morgan Dollar production. The original 1878 reverse design was quickly modified to show the eagle with more parallel arrow feathers and a flatter breast, creating what we now call the Reverse of 1879. This variety shows how the Mint was actively refining the design in real-time during the first year of production.
This MS63 example certified by ANACS displays strong cartwheel luster and crisp strike details, particularly evident in the eagle's breast feathers that define this variety. The surfaces show minimal bagmarks for the grade, and attractive original toning is beginning to form around the edges. The eye appeal is outstanding, with bright, flashy surfaces that really pop when the coin is tilted under light.
For variety specialists and Morgan Dollar enthusiasts, this represents an excellent opportunity to own a high-grade example of this important transitional design. The strong technical grade combined with the historical significance makes this coin particularly appealing.
