1878-CC Morgan Dollar VG
The year 1878 marked the beginning of a legendary era in American coinage with the introduction of the Morgan Dollar. This silver piece, struck during its inaugural year of production, carries the distinct 'CC' mint mark of the Carson City Mint, a facility deeply tied to the rich silver veins of the American West. These heavy silver dollars circulated widely across the nation for roughly eight decades, becoming a familiar part of daily commerce. On the obverse side, a left-facing portrait of Liberty is depicted wearing a Phrygian cap, with the word 'Liberty' inscribed upon her hair band. The reverse of the coin showcases a bald eagle with its wings spread, clutching an olive branch in one talon and a cluster of arrows in the other, symbolizing both peace and readiness. Graded in Very Good condition, this historic coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver, representing a total silver purity of 90 percent.
