1881-CC Morgan Dollar VF
The 1881-CC Morgan Dollar represents a fascinating era of American minting, struck in 0.900 fine silver with a total precious metal content of 0.7734 troy ounces. This particular specimen survives in Very Fine condition, showing the honest wear of a coin that likely saw real circulation during the late nineteenth century. On the obverse, the design features the left-facing profile of Liberty. She wears a traditional Phrygian cap, with a band across her hair displaying the word LIBERTY. The reverse showcases a heraldic bald eagle with its wings spread, grasping an olive branch of peace in one talon and a cluster of arrows in the other. What makes this issue especially compelling to scholars is the prominent CC mint mark positioned on the reverse, just above the denomination. This mark identifies its origin at the Carson City Mint in Nevada, a facility deeply tied to the silver booms of the American West. The legends UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR frame the reverse design, alongside the motto IN GOD WE TRUST.
