Historical Significance
The Morgan Silver Dollar, named after its designer George T. Morgan, was minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. The 1878-CC issue is particularly prized due to the Carson City Mint's relatively low mintage figures and its association with the silver mining boom of the late 19th century. Coins from this mint bear the "CC" mint mark, a symbol of the American West's rich past.
