1881-CC Morgan Dollar VG
The 1881-CC Morgan silver dollar is a tangible survivor from the frontier era of the United States. Minted in the silver-rich territory of Nevada, this coin carries the famous 'CC' mint mark of the Carson City Mint, a facility forever linked to the legendary Comstock Lode. Having circulated through daily commerce, this piece is graded in Very Good condition, displaying the soft, honest wear of a coin that actually changed hands in the late nineteenth century. On the obverse, the profile of Liberty faces left, her hair bound by a band inscribed with the word 'LIBERTY' while wearing a traditional Phrygian cap. The year 1881 is anchored at the bottom of the design. The reverse features a heraldic bald eagle with its wings spread, grasping a symbolic olive branch of peace in one claw and a defensive cluster of arrows in the other. Struck from 0.900 fine silver, the coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal, making it a heavy, substantial piece of historic American currency.
