1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS64 w/Ryder Signature

First-Year Carson City Morgan Silver Dollars

In the days of the Wild West, the Morgan Silver Dollar was king. These hefty, highly pure 90% fine silver coins circulated heavily throughout the nation–all thanks to the Comstock Lode. So, it's no surprise that a mint sprung up in nearby Carson City, Nevada to help manage the load. Surprisingly, the Carson City Mint struck the Morgan for only 13 years, with its total mintage for all years combined making up just 2% of the total mintage of all Morgan Silver Dollars struck between 1878 and 1921. Here you can secure a first-year 1878-dated Morgan from Carson City, America's famous "Wild West" Mint!

Signed By One Of Coin World's Most Influential People

Not only have these coins escaped the melting pots for more than 145 years, but each one has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-64 (MS64) condition. What's more, each coin will be sonically sealed in a museum-quality acrylic holder and encapsulated with an exclusive label that was personally signed by AMS Ambassador David J. Ryder. The former 34th and 39th Director of the U.S. Mint who served from 1992 to 1993 and from 2018 to 2021, Ryder was named by Coin World as one of its "Most Influential People in Numismatics."

While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today, coin experts believe that only 15% of ALL Morgans ever struck remain in existence. With only limited quantities available, these fine-feathered offerings will not last for long!

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR COIN – The Morgan Silver Dollar–so named for its designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan–has stood the test of time. Struck from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, it was the coin of America's "Wild West" and jingled in the coin purses of gamblers, gunfighters, soldiers, and dance hall girls. This coin was struck in 1878–the first year the coin was issued!
• BIG SILVER COINS – Struck in 26.73 grams of highly pure 90% fine silver, the Morgan Silver Dollar is a big coin 38.1 mm in diameter. When this coin was plunked down on a counter, its weight meant real money, pure and simple.
• CLASSIC DESIGNS – Morgan's historic design depicts a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings. The model used for Liberty was Miss Anna Williams of Philadelphia, who Morgan declared to have the most perfect feminine profile he had ever seen.
• FAMOUS "CC" MINT MARK – Morgan Silver Dollars from the Carson City Mint are the epitome of America's Wild West. Struck from silver mined from the famous Comstock Lode, coins like these jingled in the pockets of sheriffs, outlaws, cattle barons, and gamblers as they tamed the Wild West.
• CHOICE UNCIRCULATED CONDITION – Your 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-64 (MS64) condition.
• SIGNED BY A GIANT IN THE COIN WORLD – This will be sealed in an acrylic holder and encapsulated with a label signed by Davd J. Ryder, the former 34th and 39th Director of the U.S. Mint
• THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGAN – Despite millions of Morgan Silver Dollars being struck from 1878 to 1921, most were lost in circulation or melted down in mass silver meltings. In fact, coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence today!
