Description
Memorable 1878 7/8 Tailfeathers Morgan
MS66 ★ DMPL, Single Finest Graded
1878 7/8TF $1 Strong MS66 ★ Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. This
is a truly special and memorable coin in this auction, even among
many other wonderful pieces. The Strong 1878 7/8 Tailfeathers has
been long recognized as a rarity, one that is seldom seen with PL
or DMPL surfaces in Mint State grades finer than MS64. But here is
a miraculous Premium Gem piece that NGC has justly given its
coveted Star designation to--and one that the legions of DMPL
Morgan collectors will fly to like moths to a flame. Five
tailfeathers (four prominent) are visible underneath the seven.Among the more than 100 DMPL 1878 7/8 Tailfeathers Morgan dollars undesignated as to variety at NGC (including this coin), this piece is the only Star-designated piece, sharing the honors for finest graded with a single NGC MS66 DMPL non-Star piece.
This is a totally white coin that has dazzling, deeply mirrored fields. The devices are noticeably frosted and present a strong cameo contrast. An exceptional, high-grade example of this widely collected 1878 variant.(Registry values: P5)
