I cut out of work early today to go detecting in downtown Eugene Oregon. I dug a pile of clad and a few wheat cents, but I also dug my silver coin #3 for the year ~ a 1964 Rosie dime . . . . and silver coin #4 for the year a 1880-CC Morgan Dollar!!! This is the first Morgan dollar I have ever dug! And, it is also the first Carson City mint coin I have ever dug! WOOHOO ~ TREASURE!!!

WOW................ I think I would have fainted. A silver dollar, and a CC to boot. I'm still looking for one, although I did find a piece of a silver dollar. You can see the top of her head, and read ONE DOLLAR on the reverse. Congrats on a super find and now I hope you find a gold coin

Oh, I did dig 2 gold coins in 2007 ~ a 1868 $10 gold piece, and a 1910 $10 gold piece! Now THAT was a rush!!!

Congrats on your first dollar, still looking myself after 45yrs and on the top ten most wanted dream.

I'm not even close on knowing coinage, but I'll throw this one out there I think this dollar is a 1880 CC Rev 78 type.
