The Morgan Silver Dollar holds an important place in American numismatics and has remained a favorite among collectors for more than a century. Produced by the United States Mint from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, these large silver coins reflect a significant period in American history marked by the expansion of the western frontier and the growth of the nation’s silver mining industry during the late nineteenth century. This 1879-CC Morgan Dollar is a rare survivor from the original issue and features a capped die issue on the mint mark. Today, certified 1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar, struck at the Carson City Mint in Nevada, is among the most coveted issues in the entire Morgan series. With a mintage of only 756,000 pieces — modest even by the standards of the era — surviving examples in any grade are relatively scarce, and those in mint state are genuinely rare and command substantial premiums. Carson City coins of this period carry the distinctive “CC” mint mark on the reverse, a mark that has become synonymous with frontier-era coinage and the silver-rich history of the American West.
All 1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coins available here are F12 specimens. Coins in this condition maintain outlines of the primary images with lettering that may be worn away. The Capped Die issue impacts roughly one-third of all 1879-CC Morgan Dollars and is evident on the mint mark. The CC mint mark shows raised metal around the mint mark as a result of a die error, resulting in the mint mark appearing blurry, as if a CC is covering the CC.
For the obverse of the 1879-CC Morgan Dollar Coin, the design features a detailed portrait of Liberty facing left. Rather than relying on the more traditional allegorical styles used on earlier American coinage, Liberty appears as a representation of an American woman. The design was created by United States Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan, who based Liberty’s appearance on Anna Willess Williams, a Philadelphia schoolteacher whose profile was considered an example of classical American beauty.
In the reverse design of 1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollars, the coin displays an image of the American bald eagle with its wings fully extended and its chest facing forward. The eagle holds an olive branch in one talon and a bundle of arrows in the other. These elements reflect the nation’s preference for peace while also acknowledging its readiness to defend its interests when necessary.
