Did you know that the first minting of Morgan Silver Dollars happened way back in 1878? It was destined to become one of the most magical dates in U.S. coinage history, since it launched one of America’s most beloved Silver Dollar series. Original Morgans, loaded with solid silver and American history, would be struck at five different US mints between 1878 and 1921. But here’s a fact many collectors aren’t even aware of…
In the first year of minting Morgans, the U.S. Mint actually included four subtly different designs! When the Government began minting the famous Morgan Silver Dollar in 1878, little did they know it would take them four attempts to arrive at a final design. For example, though a bald eagle has only seven tail feathers, the first Philadelphia Morgan Dollars were struck with eight tail feathers. It took three more attempts to arrive at success. Now, we’ve gathered a precious specimen of each design struck in 1878 into one super-desirable set! You’ll thrill at all four varieties included in this Very Fine and better condition collection. Can you find all the differences? If not, don’t worry, a detailed story card will help you spot the different designs.
Each set is boxed for display with a Certificate of Authenticity. Some of these varieties are quite difficult to find, so don’t miss out. Order now!
