Additional Description: The 1879 Morgan Dollar from Carson City is a United States silver dollar struck in 90% silver at the historic Carson City Mint, identified by the distinctive “CC” mint mark on the reverse. With a relatively low mintage, this issue reflects the Carson City Mint’s role in converting Western silver into circulating coinage during the late 19th century. Designed by George T. Morgan, the coin features Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse, making the 1879-CC a highly desirable and historically significant piece for collectors.
