1881-CC Morgan Dollar MS-66 PCGS
The 1881 Morgan Dollar stands as a remarkable example of late nineteenth-century American coinage. Minted in Carson City, Nevada, this silver dollar contains 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver, with a overall purity of 0.900. This particular specimen has been certified in an exceptional Mint State 66 (MS-66) condition, preserving the intricate details of its original design with stunning clarity. The obverse of the coin features the profile of Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap. Delicately inscribed upon her hair band is the word "Liberty". Encircling her portrait are the traditional Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum", the 1881 year of issue, and thirteen stars that pay tribute to the original American colonies. On the reverse, a bald eagle is depicted with outspread wings, holding an olive branch of peace and a bundle of arrows symbolizing strength. Above the eagle, the motto "In God We Trust" is displayed, while the legends "United States of America" and "One Dollar" frame the design. Just beneath the wreath, the famous "CC" mint mark identifies this coin as a product of the historic Carson City Mint.
