1880-CC Morgan Dollar Rev of 78 BU
The 1880 Carson City Morgan silver dollar represents a fascinating era in American coinage. Minted as part of a series that circulated as everyday currency for nearly eight decades, this coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver. The series itself had a long production run spanning from 1878 to 1904, with a final, single-year return in 1921. On the obverse, the design showcases a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap decorated with cotton and wheat. This particular depiction is notable for being the first United States coin to present Liberty with a distinctly American look. The reverse features a bald eagle with open wings, holding both an olive branch and arrows, a combination meant to show the nation's preference for peace alongside its preparedness for defense. This specific issue bears the famous "CC" mint mark of the Carson City Mint, adding a layer of intrigue for those exploring the history of Western minting.
