1880-CC Morgan Silver Dollar $1 VG Very Good
A true relic of the American frontier era, the 1880-CC Morgan Silver Dollar $1 VG Very Good is a historic coin struck at the legendary Carson City Mint. Composed of 90% silver with an actual silver weight of 0.7734 troy oz, this coin is graded Very Good, showing heavy circulation while still retaining identifiable design elements. Its connection to the Old West and limited mintage make it a desirable piece for collectors seeking authenticity and history.
The Morgan Silver Dollar, first introduced in 1878, was designed by George T. Morgan and became one of the most iconic coins in U.S. history. These coins were produced during a time of rapid economic growth fueled by silver mining in the American West. The 1880 issue reflects the continued demand for silver coinage under the Bland-Allison Act, making it an important part of the series’ early years.
The Carson City Mint, established in Nevada in 1870, played a crucial role during the height of the Comstock Lode silver boom. Coins struck here bear the famous “CC” mintmark, which has become synonymous with rarity and strong collector demand. Due to lower mintages compared to other U.S. Mint facilities, Carson City coins, especially Morgan Dollars, are highly sought after and closely associated with the spirit of the Wild West.
