Show your 1878 Philadelphia 8 tail feather Morgans. With only 749,500 dollars minted, is this coin rare, or easy to find? Here’s one I picked up raw that has a convex obverse and a P/L concave deep dish reverse.

Here is one I had many years ago for a VAM set I was working on and gave up due to expense.

Not rare. Not even scarce.
The very first Morgan Dollar minted was a VAM 9 and it currently resides in the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museum in Fremont, Ohio.

MS62 - if you can pick through over 25 examples on eBay at any given time for each UNC grade up to gem, then the are not rare.
Thanks to those who showed their Morgans
