1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar - VG
Add a highly collectible piece of Old West American silver coinage to your collection with this 1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar in Very Good (VG) condition. Struck at the legendary Carson City Mint from 90% silver and 10% copper, this historic dollar represents one of the most desirable mintmarks in the Morgan Dollar series, produced from 1878 through 1904 and again in 1921.
Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features a beautiful left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with wheat and cotton. The reverse showcases a majestic eagle with outstretched wings, holding arrows and an olive branch. The distinctive “CC” mintmark beneath the eagle identifies its Carson City Mint origin, connecting this coin to Nevada's famous silver-mining era.
With an original mintage of just 756,000 coins, the 1879-CC is considered a key-date Carson City Morgan Dollar and remains highly sought after by collectors. Its relatively limited production and historic mintmark contribute to its enduring numismatic appeal.
In Very Good (VG) condition, this coin exhibits moderate to heavy circulation wear while retaining recognizable design elements, a readable date, and a distinguishable mintmark. Its circulated appearance offers a tangible connection to the American West during the late 1800s.
Its key-date status, Carson City Mint heritage, low mintage, and 90% silver composition make this 1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar an exceptional addition to any Morgan Dollar collection or historic U.S. silver type set.
