As with most coins, there are several key dates in the series, which can make creating a set incredibly difficult and costly. Some key dates include 1878CC, valued between $120 and almost $2,000, depending on the condition, 1879CC, valued between almost $300 up to almost $30,000, depending on condition and variety. Another key date with several varieties is 1880CC, where all varieties are worth at least $200. The 1881CC is also a key date, as well as 1889CC, and 1893CC. There are several other key dates for the series, with the most valuable date being the 1893S, with only 100,000 minted. It is valued between $5,000 and $650,000. This coin was sold for $646,250 at the Legend Auction in October of 2014. The coin was in pristine MS-65 condition. In general, the CC mint mark is the most rare, with the fewest being minted, which therefore, leads to the intense prices you can see with almost ever Morgan Silver Dollar minted in Carson City. But don't think that just because you have an O mint mark that you're coin is worthless.

Morgan Silver Dollars, as with almost all series, has mint errors. Some of the errors include the 1878 doubled feathers, 1879CC CC over CC, 1880 80 over 79, different error varieties of 1880CC, 1880O 80 over 79, 1882O O over S, 1887 and 1887O 7 over 6, 1880O Doubled Die Obverse, 1900 O over CC, and 1901 Doubled Die Reverse.

Every coin is special and individual in their own way and when you learn about a new coin, maybe that will be your next collecting goal!
