<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25826633, member: 101855&quot;]For $40, that looks really nice. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1647070[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>When I retired, I had a few coins left in my inventory. This 1878, 7 over 8 tailfeather dollar was one of them. It is graded MS-63. A dealer with questionable ethics offered me a low ball price on it telling me that it was over graded. He knew I was not that stupid, but he couldn&#039;t help himself. I passed and kept it. It&#039;s nicer than the one I have in this set, but I don&#039;t really want to crack it out for the set. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1647071[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I have had the &quot;weak&quot; and &quot;strong&quot; varieties of this coin. I think that there are over 50 varieties. Some of the &quot;weak&quot; pieces are really cool with doubling on the eagle&#039;s claws and the like. But, since the tailfeathers are not doubled, they bring a lot less money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
