- 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar. 7 Tailfeathers. Reverse of 1878. Proof-63 (PCGS). This is a richly toned example whose surfaces are awash in dominant blue-gray patina. There is a crescent of well blended lime-green color around the obverse border, and direct angles call forth delicate electric-blue undertones around the peripheries as the surfaces dip into a light. The strike is fully rendered throughout, and the in hand appearance is uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade. Proponents of originality will certainly appreciate this handsome specimen. There is some debate surrounding the exact number of Proof 7 Tailfeathers, Reverse of 1878 Morgan dollars delivered that year. Conventional wisdom tells us that 200 Proof silver dollars were delivered on March 26, 1878. It is highly likely that all of those coins were examples of the present variety. Writing in 1993, Q. David Bowers implies that an additional 50 to 100 pieces were struck, either on March 26 or at a later date. As such, the author believes that the mintage of the 1878 7 Tailfeathers, Reverse of 1878 is approximately 250 to 300 coins, which estimate is based on the number of specimens extant.
