Carson City Mint Morgan Dollars are an iconic representation of the height of the American silver boom in the 1860s and 1870s. The Carson City Mint was purpose-built by the US Mint to give the nation the ability to quickly take advantage of silver deposits discovered in the American West during the 1860s and 1870s. Even as the US Mint struck millions of Morgan Dollars in Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carson City, and San Francisco, the coins would predominantly be used in circulation in the West.

This 1880-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coin comes in Mint State 66 condition and boasts beautiful visuals for its age. Both fields on the coin are clean, and the designs are sharply struck, with Liberty’s portrait and the heraldic eagle standing out with crisp visuals. The coin features minimal toning that is largely confined to faint hints along the peripheral, with a fresh, frosted appearance overall.
