1881-CC Morgan Dollar BU
The 1881 Carson City Morgan silver dollar stands as a remarkable survivor from a bygone era of American coinage. Minted in the late nineteenth century, this piece is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.7734 troy ounces of the precious metal. Its brilliant uncirculated condition allows the original design details to shine through with exceptional clarity. On the obverse side, the profile of Liberty is depicted wearing a traditional Phrygian cap, decorated with a band that clearly displays the word LIBERTY. The reverse side features a majestic bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an olive branch and a cluster of arrows in its talons, symbolizing both peace and readiness. Positioned below the eagle is the famous CC mint mark, indicating its origin at the historic Carson City Mint in Nevada. The inscriptions on the coin include the United States of America, the denomination of One Dollar, and the national motto, In God We Trust. This coin offers a fascinating look at late nineteenth-century American artistry and the rich heritage of western minting.
