Description
  • Absolute Rarity: Only 131,529 examples found in the GSA Hoard

  • Housed in its original GSA packaging, just as they were auctioned off when they were released from the government hoards
  • Carson City Morgan Dollars were only struck for 13 years
  • The Carson City Mint has the lowest total mintage of Morgan Dollars with just 13,766,041 struck, which is even lower than the 20,345,000 struck for the one-year-only Denver issue
  • Due to the Pittman Act of 1918, nearly half of all Morgan Dollars were melted down
  • The Pittman Act of 1918 called for the melting of 270 million Morgan Silver Dollars, accounting for 40% of all Morgans struck
  • Morgan Silver Dollars were minted from 1878 to 1921
  • Struck in 1880 at the Carson City Mint
  • The Reverse of 78, also known as the Second Reverse, showcases parallel arrow feathers and a concave breast on the eagle
