1878-CC Morgan Dollar MS-61 PCGS
The year 1878 marked the beginning of a legendary chapter in United States coinage with the introduction of the Morgan Dollar. Among the most compelling issues from this inaugural year are those struck at the Carson City Mint in Nevada, bearing the famous CC mint mark. This particular coin represents a fascinating survivor from that historic first year of production, which saw a total mintage of 2,212,000 pieces. This silver dollar has been officially certified in Mint State 61 (MS-61) condition, preserving its original luster and details from over a century ago. Composed of 90 percent silver, the coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. Its design features classic American imagery, including the profile of Liberty on the obverse, dated 1878, and a majestic eagle on the reverse, flanked by the traditional inscriptions of the United States of America.
