1879-CC Morgan Dollar Fine
The 1879 Morgan silver dollar represents a fascinating era of American currency, serving as a staple of daily commerce for nearly eighty years. Minted in Carson City, Nevada, this coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of 90 percent pure silver. Its survival in Fine condition tells a story of active circulation, passing through countless hands during a dynamic period in United States history. On the obverse, the design showcases Liberty wearing a traditional Phrygian cap, her hair band inscribed with the word "Liberty." This side of the coin is framed by the Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum," the 1879 year of issue, and thirteen stars representing the original colonies. The reverse displays a bald eagle with its wings spread, clutching both an olive branch and arrows in its talons. Above the eagle, the motto "In God We Trust" is inscribed, while the phrases "United States of America" and "One Dollar" encircle the design. Positioned below the eagle is the highly recognizable "CC" mint mark, indicating its origin from the historic Carson City Mint.
