Historical Background

The Morgan Silver Dollar was introduced in 1878 following the passage of the Bland-Allison Act, which required the U.S. government to purchase large quantities of silver and convert it into coinage. Designed by George T. Morgan, the coin features a majestic profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an American bald eagle on the reverse.

The 1878 Philadelphia issue holds particular significance as it was the very first year of the Morgan Dollar series. This specific variety features 7 tail feathers on the eagle and the Reverse of 1879 design, which was modified later that year. These early varieties are highly sought after by variety collectors and represent an important transitional piece in American minting history.

Struck during the height of the Western mining boom, Morgan Silver Dollars circulated heavily in the American West and became symbols of prosperity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
