1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS-65

This 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar represents the first year of issue from the legendary Carson City Mint, one of the most sought-after mint marks in American numismatics. The Carson City facility was established to process silver from the nearby Comstock Lode, and its coins are treasured for their connection to the Wild West era of Nevada's mining boom.

The obverse features George T. Morgan's iconic design of Liberty in profile, her hair crowned with a Phrygian cap and wreath of cotton and wheat. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, surrounded by a wreath and the inscription "United States of America." The strike shows excellent detail definition with well-preserved hair lines and feather details.

Graded MS-65 by NGC, this coin exhibits exceptional luster with minimal contact marks for the grade. The Carson City Morgan series remains one of the most popular collecting specialties in American silver dollars, prized for both historical significance and relative scarcity. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
