1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar XF

First-Year Carson City Morgan Silver Dollar

In the days of the Wild West, the silver dollar was king. These hefty, highly pure 90% fine silver coins circulated heavily throughout the nation — all thanks to the Comstock Lode. So, it’s no surprise that a mint sprung up in nearby Carson City, Nevada to help handle the load.

Scarce Wild West Dollars From The Carson City Mint

Surprisingly, the Carson City Mint struck the Morgan for only 13 years, with its total mintage for all years combined making up just 2% of the total mintage of all Morgan Silver Dollars struck between 1878 and 1921. Now, after years of being worn in commerce, scratched in saddle bags and melted down for their precious metal, the Morgan Silver Dollar is a shadow of its former self. It’s estimated that as few as 15% of these beautiful Wild West Silver Dollars remain for modern collectors to covet and stash away in their private collections.

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• KEY-DATE, FIRST-YEAR MORGAN SILVER DOLLAR – This coin is a key-date, first-year-of-issue Morgan Silver Dollar struck in 1878 at the fabled Carson City Mint.
• AMERICA’S MOST POPULAR COIN – The Morgan Silver Dollar—so named for its designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan—has stood the test of time. Struck from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, it was the coin of America’s “Wild West” and jingled in the coin purses of gamblers, gunfighters, soldiers and dance hall girls.
• CLASSIC DESIGNS – Morgan’s historic design depicts a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings. The model used for Liberty was Miss Anna Williams of Philadelphia, who Morgan declared to have the most perfect feminine profile he had ever seen.
• STRUCK IN GLEAMING AMERICAN SILVER – Morgan Silver Dollars were struck in highly pure 90% fine silver from the famous Comstock Lode and measure 38.1 mm in diameter.
• LEGAL TENDER SILVER DOLLAR – Morgans were $1 legal tender and struck during the heyday of America’s Wild West era where coins were overwhelmingly preferred over paper currency.
• EXTREMELY FINE-CONDITION – Your 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar will come in very nice Extremely Fine (XF) condition.
• THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGANS – While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence!

The Morgan reigns supreme among silver dollars and from the Morgans, there are few better than those from the Carson City Mint. Here’s your chance to get a first-year 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar graded as being in Extremely Fine (XF) condition.
