The Morgan Silver Dollar ranks among the most enduring silver dollar issues ever produced by the United States Mint. First struck in 1878, the design was the work of George T. Morgan, who served as Assistant Engraver for the Mint. Its release signaled the end of a five-year suspension in silver dollar coinage, restoring a classic denomination to American currency. Today, 1880-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coins in certified condition are available from JM Bullion.

In 1880, the Carson City Mint struck 591,000 Morgan Silver Dollars, a respectable output for this smaller facility. These 1880-CC coins were produced during the early years of the Morgan Dollar series, which had only begun in 1878. The relatively lower mintage compared to Philadelphia or San Francisco made these coins desirable to collectors, and today the 1880-CC is considered a key date for those building Carson City collections.

All 1880-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coins available here are Mint State 63 specimens. Coins in this condition have numerous small contact marks and a few scattered, heavier marks. The coin may have some distracting marks in its primary focal fields. A few scattered hairlines or a singular, small patch of hairlines may be visible. The coins retain an attractive eye appeal.

On the obverse of the 1880-CC Morgan Dollar Coin, Lady Liberty appears in left-profile relief. Designed in 1878 by Morgan, the portrait shows Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, symbolizing liberty, along with a laurel wreath and a coronet crown. Surrounding her image are 13 stars representing the founding states.

The reverse side of 1880-CC Morgan Silver Dollars highlights Morgan’s heraldic eagle design. This version of the bald eagle omits the national shield and features the bird holding both the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace, conveying strength and unity in a balanced composition.
