his stunning 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar has been graded MS64 by PCGS and boasts exceptional eye appeal with strong proof-like qualities rarely seen at this grade. Struck at the legendary Carson City Mint, this first-year issue is highly sought after by collectors for both its historical significance and scarcity.
The coin’s mirrored fields and frosty devices give it a near-prooflike appearance that elevates its visual impact well beyond typical MS64 examples. The strike is bold, with sharp detail on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers—hallmarks of an early Carson City production.
With a mintage of just 2.2 million and far fewer surviving in this quality, this coin represents a top-tier investment in the Morgan Dollar series. Whether you're building a high-grade Carson City set or seeking a standout piece with proof-like brilliance, this 1878-CC delivers both rarity and beauty.

‘’I had gone to a couple of other places and they weren’t the nicest people and were trying to rip me off. The people at copper state were very knowledgeable and kind. They taught me a lot along the way too. Mike and Ivy were big helps in my situation. The place is also very organized, clean and they were professional!! I recommend you go here! I will be back!’’
‘’Very nice and pleasant experience. Mike, the owner took time to show me some very cool things!! He also spent time to educate me about things I wanted to know and answered all my silly questions too! (And there were a LOT of them!!) I am really going to enjoy this shop and look forward to returning again and again. Mike is fair, honest, respectful, and kind. What more could you ask for?’’
‘’First time visit to the shop was great! All were fun to talk with friendly to work with and outstanding to do business with. I was looking for some specific items. They went above and beyond to double check inventory not under glass. Boy, did they make my day. Not only did they find, it but they gave me the best deal in town. I will be back again! Thank you Mike! Copper State is a new spot for me now.’’
‘’Found a couple of the 2009 Formative Years” I have been looking for. Came to Copperstate Coins responding to an ad not knowing they were a coin dealer. Met with Ivy to pick up my rolls. All in the store were extremely polite not pushy helpful and I left with more than I came in for. Without a doubt greatest place to go if you’re just getting into the hobby, which I am, I will be a frequent customer. Thank you!!’’
‘’This company needs an option for more than 5 starts, how about 10!? Customer service is AMAZING , they are outstanding in every single way! Since using this company, I have had 10 or more people I referred them to, and same outcome. No doubt, zero disappointment.’’
