1879-CC Morgan Dollar XF-45 PCGS

---

The 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar stands as a compelling artifact from the early years of this iconic United States coin series. Struck in 90% silver, this dollar contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. It represents a time when the silver mines of the American West were fueling the nation's currency production, yielding a coin that is both a work of art and a heavy piece of circulating bullion. This particular specimen bears the famous "CC" mint mark, indicating it was produced at the historic Carson City Mint in Nevada. With a relatively low mintage of just 756,000 pieces, Carson City dollars from this year are highly sought after by those who study American coinage. The coin has been certified in Extremely Fine 45 (XF-45) condition, meaning it still retains much of its original detail despite showing light wear from its time in circulation. The design features the classic profile of Liberty on the obverse, surrounded by the year 1879 and the Latin motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM". The reverse displays an eagle with outstretched wings, holding an olive branch and arrows, encircled by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "ONE DOLLAR", and the national motto "In God we trust".
