Hello, Can someone tell me the difference between the 1879 S 2nd and 3rd Reverse, I have been looking around with no luck yet. Thanks Ron,
The '79 S has 2 reverses, the reverse of '78 and the reverse of '79. The Rev '78 has a parallel arrow feather, and the Rev of '79 has a slanted arrow feather. This link should help: David's 1879-s Reverse of 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar Id page.
Here's a reference from VAMworld: VAMworld - Reverse of 78-79 I also discussed those two reverses in this thread: EXHIBIT: The Morgan Dollar (It's right past the part on patterns).
