241079 Valued Member United Kingdom 71 Posts	Posted 11/08/2013 6:23 pm Here I have a 1878 S mint Morgan dollar with the 1879 Morgan dollar reverse. As you can see in the photographs the eagle has 7 tail feathers and the eagle has a rounded breast and also the bottom arrow head points downwards. Is this coin scarce ? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by 241079 11/08/2013 6:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
