<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3467633, member: 84595"]Congratulations on your purchase of an 1878 8 tail feathers Morgan. Now it's time to study. Go to VamWorld.com and research the variety of your coin. There were only 750,000 8 tail feather Morgans minted. I'll agree the grade is in the mid VF range and with the issues from circulation would not straight grade. Unless this coin was a rare variety, one wouldn't have it encapsulated and graded anyway. But that doesn't mean it is only worth silver, spot X .7734. To the critics, I would say, send me all the 1878 8 tail feathers Morgans LIKE THIS ONE at silver value. It's collectible if you are putting a set together of the 5 varieties of the 1878 in a price YOU can afford. That's an accomplishment. Not everyone has a bundle of money to buy the best 1878 8 tail feathers. Your coin doesn't have any HOLES in it. It has circulation marks and digs. It also has a History. Wish it could talk. As you study coins, remember eye appeal. Look for the BEST coin at what you can afford. Don't be afraid to ask questions here and keep collecting. You have the books. Read them, study them, learn grading, learn eye appeal. You have the Internet. Research coins. Enjoy the hobby and the History of coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
