The 1878 7/8 TF Morgan dollar, showing four more or additional feathers with strong detail, is common in all grades through MS64 but is much tougher in the Gem grades or better. In PL and DMPL these become more difficult still with pieces of those designations grading MS65 or better all but esoteric.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
