1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS-65

Few US coins capture the romance of the Old West like a genuine Carson City Morgan Dollar. The 1878-CC represents a historic milestone, being both the inaugural year of the beloved Morgan series and the first Morgan Dollar struck at the legendary Carson City Mint. This coin was minted during Nevada's silver boom, when the Comstock Lode was producing vast quantities of silver ore that were refined and coined locally.

The obverse features Anna Willess Williams' profile of Liberty with flowing hair and a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, surrounded by stars and the date 1878. The reverse displays a bold heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, grasping arrows and an olive branch, with the distinctive CC mintmark below. This example shows well-struck devices with sharp relief and appealing surfaces typical of the grade.

Graded MS-65 by PCGS, this Morgan Dollar exhibits the lustrous surfaces and strong strike quality expected at this level. Carson City Morgans remain among the most sought-after coins in American numismatics due to their Wild West heritage and the mint's relatively brief operational period. For those seeking a high-grade example of this foundational Carson City issue, this coin delivers both historical significance and visual appeal. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
