Buy The 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) Set Online
Step into the unique legacy of the Old West with the 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar, a genuine piece from the Carson City Mint and the very first year these iconic coins were minted. The Carson City Mint, famed for its historical ties to the frontier and silver mines, produced Morgan Dollars for only a short time: first between 1878 and 1885, then from 1889 to 1893. Forgotten for decades, a massive stash of these coins was found in government vaults, and President Nixon signed a law in 1970 allowing their release, including some in special government packaging that became collectible in its own right.

- First Year of Issue: The 1878-CC Morgan Dollar was part of the debut production year, adding to its historical value and appeal.
