Description

Gorgeous Gem Cameo Proof 1878 Morgan Dollar
Seven Tailfeathers, Reverse of 1878

1878 7TF $1 Reverse of 1878 PR65 Cameo NGC. Of the approximately 750 proof Morgan dollars struck at Philadelphia in 1878, only around a third of them, or 250 specimens, are of the Seven Tailfeathers variety. While the Reverse of 1878 (or Second Reverse) pieces make up a majority of those 250 coins, examples remain elusive and desirable, particularly in better grades. This distinctly contrasted example is strongly mirrored beneath gold and russet-orange toning that grows opaque close to the margins. Delicate frost graces the boldly impressed and pleasingly preserved devices. A minor flaw to the right of Liberty's head is consistent with the grade.
From the Fern E. Wagner Trust.(Registry values: P6)
