Do you collect Carson City Morgan dollars? Do you find the idea of collecting them enticing? Whether you currently collect those popular silver dollars—with the famous “CC” mintmark—or like the idea of acquiring one or more of them, AU Capital Management has a more affordable option for you.

We currently have a small collection of circulated Carson City Morgan dollars for your consideration. Silver dollars often circulated in the Old West, especially Carson City issues. People in the Old West employed “hard money” in day-to-day business transactions. They wanted to carry gold and silver coins in their pockets or purses, hear their clanging, and pay for goods and services with that “hard money.”

When you purchase this circulated piece, you will save a great deal over the price of an uncirculated coin. Carson City Morgan dollars are always in great demand. They have a combination of wonderful elements in their favor: the romance and lore of the Old West and the Comstock Lode, the short-lived history of the Carson City Mint, and the popularity among collectors of Morgan dollars. Perhaps it a good time for you to purchase one of these circulated dollars with the iconic “CC” mintmark upon them!

 

Wyatt Earp at around 39 years old. Did he have Carson City silver dollars in his pocket at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona? Photo: Wikimedia Commons.

Was Wyatt Earp carrying “CC” Morgan dollars in his pocket when he stopped by the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, in 1881?  Did "Pawnee" Bill, "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Chief Sitting Bull, Billy the Kid, Annie Oakley, or Frank Butler pay for drinks, provisions, or clothing in the Old West during the late 1800s?

If so, the distinctive clang of a Morgan dollar was heard as it was dropped onto a wooden bar or store counter. Stacks of silver dollars lay on the gaming tables in Rhyolite, Tincup, Silver Reef and other gambling towns that dotted the Wild West. In banks, bistros, and bordellos in Helena, Cheyenne, and Denver, customers and cashiers exchanged silver dollars each and every day.
