The creation of the 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar was closely tied to the Bland-Allison Act, which required the U.S. Treasury to buy large amounts of silver for coin production. This law gave miners in places like Nevada’s Comstock Lode and new mining areas in Colorado a reliable buyer for their silver and marked the beginning of greater federal involvement in silver purchases.

On the obverse of the 1878-CC Morgan Dollar Coin, George T. Morgan’s design shows Lady Liberty in left profile. She wears a Phrygian cap for freedom, a laurel wreath for honor, and a coronet crown symbolizing victory.

The reverse side features Morgan’s heraldic eagle design. The eagle spreads its wings while holding arrows and an olive branch, representing both strength and peace.
