Value of 1880-CC Silver Morgan Dollar

Value of 1880-CC With the Reverse of 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar

The 1880-CC with the Reverse of 1879 (SAF) was minted in larger quantities, and thus is more plentiful, than Morgan dollars with the Reverse of 1878 (PAF). The Carson City mintmark makes this variety quite popular. However, many examples are extensively bagmarked and collectors need to search to find a dollar with good eye appeal. Strike varies from sharp in all areas to weak at the centers with the lack of definition in the hair strands near Miss Liberty’s ear and on the breast feathers of the eagle. The luster of this coin is typically good. Planchet striations appear on some pieces from the strip preparation process and appear as tiny parallel lines on the highest central points of the coins. No proofs were minted.
Carson City Morgans Are Always Popular: Like its PAF counterpart, this variety is available in a wide range of circulated pieces, a something for everyone issue.
Mint State 1880-CC Coins Are Available: There is no shortage of Mint State specimens available no matter how far up the grading scale your tastes take you. MS-64 is an ideal grade as it suggests great quality and an affordable price tag for most of today’s collectors.
