Deep Mirror Prooflike Gem 1878 Morgan Dollar 7 Tailfeathers, Reverse of 1879 Impressive Strike and Condition Rarity 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar. 7 Tailfeathers. Reverse of 1879. MS-65 DMPL (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Here is one of the finest certified examples of this variety in the DMPL category, and the highest graded that also has a CAC sticker. Our offering of this beautiful Gem represents an important bidding opportunity for advanced Morgan dollar collectors. Brilliant apart from subtle iridescent gold peripheral highlights, both sides reveal a boldly cameo finish. The deep mirrored reflectivity in the fields forms an outstanding backdrop for sharply struck, satin to softly frosted design elements. Expertly preserved with abundant eye appeal. The Philadelphia Mint produced approximately 10,508,800 circulation strike silver dollars in 1878, the first year of the Morgan design type. No records were kept concerning the mintages of 8 Tailfeathers, 7/8 Tailfeathers, and 7 Tailfeathers coins. The 7 Tailfeathers, Reverse of 1879 was the final hub type settled upon after the short-lived 8 Tailfeathers and 7 Tailfeathers, Reverse of 1878 had been abandoned, and it is identifiable by the eagle's rounded breast and the slanting uppermost arrow feather. Q. Davis Bowers (2019) provides an approximate mintage of only 1,500,000 circulation strikes for the 7 Tailfeathers, Reverse of 1879, in deference to the fact that this is the scarcest and most conditionally challenging hub type of the issue. The Deep Mirror Prooflike Gem from the Larry H. Miller Collection is sure to attract a great deal of attention from specialists. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
