1878-CC Silver Morgan Dollar PCGS MS63

Why add this 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS63 to your collection?

This 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar is a great option for you if you like numismatic coins that are graded highly but not so highly that they have prohibitive premiums. This piece received a grade of MS63 from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). That grade indicates that its luster may be impaired and that there may be some small marks, but that it remains in overall good condition. The Morgan silver dollar is extremely popular not only among collectors but among many families, which often pass them down from one generation to the next. This coin’s status as part of the original issue makes it all the more desirable. Morgan created the design by using Anna Willess Williams as a model for Liberty. That decision made this the first coin in which Liberty was depicted as an American woman as opposed to one in the Greek style. She dons a Phrygian cap and a ribbon that bears an inscription of her name, “LIBERTY.” The reverse features an eagle mostly encircled by a wreath of laurel. The eagle holds arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other. The “CC” Mint mark under the bottom of the wreath indicates that the coin was struck at the Carson City Mint.
