1879-CC Morgan Dollar Value Facts:

1879-CC Morgan Dollar value is affected in part by the price of silver, but mostly their value is determined by their mintage (survival rate), their grade and condition.

The mintage is how many were minted by the United States Mint and survival rate is how many 1879-CC Morgan Dollars have survived over the years. Grade is how much wear the coin has sustained during its time in circulation, and grades are from Fair 1 through MS68, so a G4 (Good) 1879-CC Morgan Dollar is worth at least $150 and one graded MS64 (Mint State) is worth around $10,000.

An 1879-CC Morgan Dollar graded value also depends on which grading service certified the coin with PCGS bringing top value and NGC, ANACS and ICG following in that order. Any other grading service holder is usually considered a raw coin by serious coin collectors and the experts.

As can be seen by auction and sell records the 1879-CC is extremely rare in higher grades and is known for two main varieties: CC over CC and Clear CC.

Collectors should be warned about counterfeits and fakes because they’re numerous and some are dates and mints that never existed; while others can be housed in fake grading holders. You can learn more about fake and counterfeit Morgan Dollars HERE.
