This Morgan dollar is a popular date as both a first-year issue and more particularly a first-year Morgan from the Carson City Mint. While scarce in comparison to many other Morgan dollars from other mints, the 1878-CC is common enough to satisfy collector demand and can be found with relative easy in circulated and uncirculated grades through the mid-range Gem levels. There is a huge jump in price from MS66, in which the coin has many certified examples, to MS67, where only a relative handful are known. PL and DMPL examples are available through roughly MS64 and become significantly challenging in grades above that.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
