Ozland Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 01/13/2011 3:30 pm There are no eight tailfeather Morgan dollars in the years 1879-1904 and 1921. Eight tail feather coins are only found in 1878 Philadelphia mint issue coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Ozland Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 01/13/2011 11:40 pm Quote: hope I made a good investment As a beginner I would read information about the Morgan dollars. I would suggest you learn to grade (as best as you can) so that you do not over spend for dollars that are cleaned, whizzed, artificially toned, scratched, over graded or counterfeit.
