Obverse

Liberty features on the obverse of 1880-CC Morgan Dollar Silver Coins. This design comes from George T. Morgan and shows Liberty in left-profile relief. She wears a Phrygian cap on her head with the coronet crown and laurel wreath in her hair. Along with 13 stars on the design edge, you will find inscriptions of E PLURIBUS UNUM and 1880. The word LIBERTY is inscribed on her coronet crown.

Reverse

For the reverse of 1880-CC Morgan Dollars, you will find the heraldic eagle of the United States. The American bald eagle is shown here in front-facing relief with the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons. The eagle is framed by a wreath of oak and laurel, with a bow connecting the two sides at the bottom. Beneath this bow, you will find the CC mint mark of the Carson City Mint. Inscriptions on this face of the coin read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, and ONE DOLLAR. The CC mint mark is located beneath the bow of the wreath, just above the DO in dollar.

History

The release of the Morgan Dollar Silver Coin in 1880 included a rather minuscule mintage from the Carson City Mint. Just 591,000 coins were issued at the mint in Nevada. Roughly one-fifth of those coins never reached broader circulation. Some 131,529 coins from this release were discovered by the GSA in Treasury vaults in the 1960s.
