    The initial reverse of Morgan dollars in 1878 had a flat chested eagle and the arrow tails were parallel - the reverse of 1879 has a fuller chested eagle, and one of the arrow tails is tilted.

    DuiGuy: In answer to your question, my 1880-CC (80/79) Rev '78 (VAM-4) PCGS MS-63 Morgan Dollar, pictured earlier in this thread, is not in a GSA holder, but in one of the most recent versions of PCGS slabs.
