The 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most desirable first-year Carson City Mint issues in the entire Morgan Dollar series. Struck at the legendary Carson City Mint during the inaugural year of Morgan Dollar production, these historic silver dollars remain highly sought after by collectors due to their western frontier history, low mintage, and iconic “CC” mintmark.

Offered here in About Uncirculated to Brilliant Uncirculated (AU/BU) Condition, these coins exhibit only light circulation wear or may retain much of their original mint luster. Strong design details and eye appeal make this a popular way to add a genuine Carson City Morgan Dollar to a collection.

Historic First-Year Carson City Issue

The Carson City Mint operated in Nevada during the late 1800s and produced some of the most collectible coins in American numismatics. The 1878-CC Morgan Dollar had a total mintage of just 2,212,000 coins, making it one of the key early issues from this famous western mint.

Coins bearing the “CC” mintmark are especially popular because of their connection to the Wild West, the Comstock Lode silver discoveries, and the short-lived Carson City Mint itself.

Classic Morgan Dollar Design

Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with cotton and wheat. The reverse showcases the heraldic eagle with wings spread while clutching arrows and an olive branch beneath the inscription “In God We Trust.”

The Morgan Silver Dollar remains one of the most widely collected and recognizable coins ever issued by the United States Mint.

AU/BU Condition Examples

These AU/BU Condition examples display only light evidence of circulation and may retain significant original detail, luster, and eye appeal. The date, legends, and Carson City mintmark remain bold and clearly identifiable.

Each coin is nearly 150 years old and offers collectors an outstanding opportunity to own a genuine first-year Carson City Morgan Silver Dollar from one of America's most famous mints.
