Description:
Obverse: Features the classic Morgan Dollar design with a left-facing profile of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with agricultural symbols of cotton and wheat. The inscription "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is above, with 13 stars and the date "1878" below.
Reverse: Depicts a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, surrounded by a laurel wreath. The motto "In God We Trust" is above the eagle, with the mintmark "CC" located below. Surrounding text reads "United States of America" and "One Dollar."
History: As the inaugural year of the Morgan Dollar series, the 1878-CC coins are particularly significant. Coins from the Carson City Mint are highly sought after due to their limited production and historical importance, making this a prized addition to any collection.
