The 1879-CC $1 Morgan silver dollar, minted at Carson City, is a numismatic treasure with a low mintage of 756,000. Russell says that this piece is light, flashy and has a minimum of marks but is still consistent with the assigned grade. Plus, it has great cartwheel luster!
In the market, an 1879-CC Morgan in NGC MS62 is highly sought after, often fetching thousands at auction due to its rarity and historical significance. NGC has graded 288 as MS62 with 834 finer. Collector’s Universe (CU) prices this issue at $8,250 in MS62. Therefore, you will save $400 off the CU price when you buy this example!
NGC Coin Explorer writes, “The 1879-CC Morgan dollar has a higher mintage than the 1880, 1881, and 1885 Carson City issues, but is actually much harder to find today than those lower-mintage issues. The main reason for this is that the survival rate of 1879-CC Morgan dollars was simply not all that high.” For example, after the Treasury release ended in 1964, the General Services Administration (GSA) holdings of 1879-CC dollars numbered only 4,123, or 0.55% of its original mintage.
