Continuing the Morgan Dollar Legacy
The 1879 Morgan Dollar carries on the celebrated legacy initiated by the 1878 Morgan Dollar. Designed by George T. Morgan, the coin was struck following the Bland-Allison Act, which sought to boost the nation's silver mining industry and reintroduce silver dollars as legal tender. In 1879, the Morgan Dollar was minted at four U.S. Mint facilities: Philadelphia, San Francisco, Carson City, and New Orleans, identifiable by their respective mint marks – 'P,' 'S,' 'CC', and 'O'.
A Collector's Coveted Prize
The 1879 Morgan Dollar, especially those produced at the Carson City Mint, is highly sought after by collectors due to its lower mintage and historical significance. The 1879-CC Morgan Dollar is considered one of the key dates within the series, making it a prized possession for any coin enthusiast.
The 1879 Morgan Dollar is available in a variety of conditions and grades, providing collectors with ample choices to suit their preferences. From well-circulated coins with character and history to stunning, high-grade specimens that showcase the design's intricate beauty, there's an 1879 Morgan Dollar perfect for every collection.
