1878-CC GSA Morgan Silver Dollar - NGC MS62

The allure of the 1878 Carson City mint and its historic Morgan silver coin continues to captivate collectors and investors alike. Nestled in the heart of the rich Silver State, this fascinating coin marks an era where craftsmanship met history. Minted in the same year that the iconic New Orleans Mint was taken over by the Treasury, the 1878 Morgan piece issued from the Carson City Mint exemplifies rarity and historical intrigue. With its origins attributed to the rapid minting efforts following the Bland-Allison Act of 1878, which mandated the Treasury to purchase large amounts of silver for coinage, this silver coin named in the product title takes its place in numismatic legacy as a prized collectible.

Featuring a .900 fine silver content, this Morgan silver dollar reflects the efforts of George T. Morgan, whose design brought Lady Liberty to life against the backdrop of American growth and prosperity. This piece, encased in an NCG holder and graded as MS62, showcases its distinguished status, verifying its quality as 'Mint State,' a remarkable testament to its enduring charm over a century since it was first struck.
