Historical Significance
The Morgan Silver Dollar, named after its designer George T. Morgan, was authorized by the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. Struck from 90% silver, these dollars represent a significant period in American coinage history and reflect the economic and political landscape of the late 19th century. The Carson City Mint, with its distinctive "CC" mint mark, produced coins that are particularly coveted due to their lower mintages compared to other mints.
