Historical Background

The Morgan Dollar series originated in 1878 following the passage of the Bland-Allison Act, which restored silver to U.S. coinage after it was suspended by the Coinage Act of 1873. This legislation mandated that the U.S. Treasury purchase a set amount of silver monthly to produce legal tender, helping revitalize silver mining—particularly in Nevada, where the Carson City Mint played a key role.

Rarity & Legacy

Carson City Morgan Dollars were struck in limited numbers and only during select years. Coins bearing the "CC" mintmark are especially rare and desirable due to the short-lived nature of the Carson City Mint and their consistently lower mintages compared to other locations.
