# 1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar

## ANACS MS-40 - A Scarce Carson City Rarity

This 1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar represents an important offering from the legendary Carson City Mint, a numismatic treasure that captures a pivotal moment in American coinage history. Graded ANACS MS-40, this specimen offers collectors a glimpse into the limited silver dollar production of the late 19th century western mint.

The Carson City Mint struck relatively few silver dollars in 1879, making this coin a desirable collectible for numismatists focused on mintmark and date rarity. The moderate circulated state reveals subtle details of the original mint luster, with light wear consistent with its assigned grade. Typical light abrasions and contact marks are evident, characteristic of Morgan Dollars from this challenging year of production.

Struck during a transitional period in United States monetary history, this 1879-CC Morgan represents a tangible connection to the silver mining era of the American West. The Carson City Mint coins are particularly prized by collectors for their limited mintage and historical significance. The ANACS certification provides additional assurance of the coin's authenticity and grade, making this an attractive addition to any specialized Morgan Dollar collection.
