U.S. Morgan Silver Dollar 1878-CC Very Fine |
Merely 2% of Morgan silver dollars were struck at the isolated Carson City Mint in Nevada, situated near the Comstock Lode. Of the first-date 1878 Morgan dollar issues, the "CC" is the most elusive today in our nicely detailed Very Fine quality or higher grades. It was a day's pay for a cowboy on the range. Most were held in reserve and the overwhelming majority lost in U.S. Treasury silver melts of the 20th century. Diameter 38.1mm, Weight 26.73 grams, Composition .900 silver
