The Morgan Silver Dollar is one of America’s most iconic coin designs, with a special place in history due to its production at the Carson City Mint. In the American West, silver dollars were particularly popular, and the Carson City Mint played a crucial role in their creation. The mint, built to take advantage of nearby silver mines, quickly turned raw silver into coins for circulation. Today, 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coins in certified condition are available from BullionMax.

The Morgan Silver Dollar, designed by George T. Morgan and minted from 1878 to 1904 (and again in 1921), was one of the most important coins produced at the Carson City Mint. These dollars, bearing the distinctive “CC” mint mark, are highly prized by collectors today due to their historical significance and relative scarcity compared to those produced at other mints.

All 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coins available here are in Mint State 63 condition. These coins exhibit mint luster that is slightly impaired and overall have a rather attractive eye appeal. You may notice numerous small contact marks with a few scattered heavy marks, and small hairlines might also be visible without magnification.

On the obverse of the 1878-CC Morgan Dollar Coins, George T. Morgan’s bust of Lady Liberty is featured. This left-profile portrait, characteristic of 19th-century American coin designs, shows Liberty wearing a laurel wreath and a coronet crown.

The reverse side of the 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar displays another design by Morgan. This version of the heraldic eagle showcases the American bald eagle in front-facing relief, spreading its wings while clutching arrows of war and an olive branch of peace.
