After a five-year hiatus in silver dollar coining in the United States, the $1 US silver coin returned in 1878 with a design from US Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan. The designs featured on the obverse and reverse of the coins were created by Morgan and carried his name throughout the life of the series. Issued by numerous US Mint branch facilities over the course of several decades, few coins were considered as rare as Carson City strikes. Today, 1878-CC Silver Morgan Dollars with original GSA packaging are available to you online at Silver.com.

The Carson City Mint was a rare example of the US Mint opening a branch facility for a specific purpose. Following the discovery of silver deposits in the American West, such as the Comstock Lode, the US Mint opened the Carson City Mint to coin silver specimens using silver mined in the west. Among the primary duties of the Carson City Mint was the production of the Silver Morgan Dollar. Open from 1870-1885 and 1889-1893, the Carson City Mint struck Silver Morgan Dollars from 1878-1885 and again from 1889-1893.

All of the 1878-CC Silver Morgan Dollars available in this listing are uncirculated items from the original release of GSA Silver Morgans in the 1970s and 1980s. Each coin comes in its original hard plastic case from the GSA with a shipping box and a Certificate of Authenticity.

The 1878-CC Silver Morgans are among the rarest specimens from this collection when housed in the original GSA, or Government Services Administration, packaging. Many of the early Carson City Silver Morgan Dollars never made it into circulation. These coins wound up in US Treasury vaults for nearly a century in uncirculated condition. The GSA auctioned the coins off to the public in the 1970s and early 1980s with these GSA plastic holders, boxes, and Certificates of Authenticity. As many original buyers eventually ditched the boxes and COAs to get the coins graded, it is relatively rare to find these coins from this date mark still in the GSA packaging.

On the obverse of 1878 Silver Morgan Dollars is a depiction of Lady Liberty. This left-profile portrait of Liberty comes with a depiction of the female figure wearing a coronet and wreath crown. The reverse of 1878-CC Silver Morgans comes with an image of the heraldic eagle of the United States.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
