"7 over 8 Tailfeathers" Morgan Dollars from the first year of mintage are a staple in many Morgan Dollar collections - showing 7 feathers stamped over the original 8 tailfeathers on the reverse. This variety was briefly produced after the U.S. Mint made this adjustment on reverse dies only several weeks into mintage in 1878, before changing to new dies with 7 tailfeathers permanently soon after. 
 
This example is graded MS61 and housed in a popular early generation NGC Old "Fatty" Holder - notably, this example was graded before "Strong" and "Weak" designations were given to this variety. The 7/8 feathers are visible to the naked eye and easy to view with a magnifying glass.
