Discover a piece of American history with the 1878-CC $1 Morgan Dollar, PCGS MS62, a numismatic treasure that epitomizes the legacy of the Old West and the artistry of 19th-century American coinage. Crafted at the legendary Carson City Mint, this silver dollar is not just a coin but a tangible link to an era of transformation and expansion in United States history.
The 1878-CC Morgan Dollar is a product of its time, struck during an era when the Carson City Mint was at the forefront of America's burgeoning silver economy. Originally intended for the introduction of the new Morgan dollars, the Carson City Mint prepared for coinage by assembling an impressive stock of 600,000 planchets, ready for striking by March 20th. Delays in the shipment of final coinage dies from the Philadelphia Mint, however, deferred the minting process, which did not commence until the arrival of 10 die pairs and six collars on April 16th.
This coin's striking features result from the combined efforts of skilled mint personnel and the formidable “Ajax” coining press from Morgan & Orr, capable of producing up to 30,000 silver dollars daily. The collectible embodies the transition from trade dollars to the remarkable Morgan dollars—a milestone in minting history.
Avoiding mention of the modern holder, appreciate the coin's visually stunning details that include the intricate portrayal of Lady Liberty and the heraldic eagle. Its surfaces display a beautiful array of luster, and with a grade of MS62 from PCGS, this piece ensures lasting preservation of its features.
For serious collectors, the 1878-CC Morgan Dollar represents an opportunity to own a key piece of America's numismatic heritage from the renowned Carson City Mint, notably recognized for its limited mintages and historical significance. Owning this coin is an invitation to cherish the spirit of the American frontier and the innovations of mint craftsmanship. Whether you are an avid numismatist or a casual history enthusiast, the 1878-CC Morgan Dollar promises to be a distinguished addition to any collection.
