In its first year of production, the Morgan silver dollar experienced quite a few errors that would later become highly collectible coins. The reverse eagle, in 1878, featured a flat, sunken chest that wasn't copasthetic with what a real eagle looked like. That reverse design was updated with a more pronounced, robust chest in 1879. The US Mint went back over some of the 1878 Morgans to refine the eagle's chest and that is how the 1878 7tf rev 79 Morgan was born. This Morgan also features the original tail feather amount of 7, instead of the 8 that would stick after 1879. Your 1878 7tf rev 79 contains the reverse design of the 1879 eagle; instead of a flat breast that is pictured on the 1878, the 1878 7tf rev 79 contains a puffed breast. Your Morgan is in very fine condition, containing heavy wear on certain spots of the coin.
