1879-CC Morgan Dollar VF-30 NGC
The 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar minted in Carson City represents a fascinating moment in nineteenth-century American coining. Struck with 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver, this coin carries the famous 'CC' mint mark, denoting its origin at the remote Nevada mint facility located near the silver riches of the Comstock Lode. Out of the original mintage of 756,000 pieces, only a fraction survive to be studied by historians and enthusiasts today. This particular specimen has been certified in Very Fine 30 (VF-30) condition, displaying the honest wear and character of a coin that likely circulated during the frontier era. The reverse design features the classic eagle grasping an olive branch and arrows, surrounded by the inscription 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and the denomination 'ONE DOLLAR', alongside the national motto 'In God we trust'. Exploring the details of this silver dollar offers a direct connection to the bustling industrial and mining history of the American West.
