As we can see from the sample table, the 1879-CC Morgan silver dollar has displayed solid, if not spectacular, value growth over a very long period of time. In certain grades, the coin has been especially hot since the year 2000. Any coin collector fortunate enough to own one of these Carson City rarities need not worry about selling at a loss down the road. The table demonstrates the 1879-CC dollar is a good choice for continued appreciation in the future....
But...
Few collectible US coins increase in value so steadily. The purpose of the Coin Value Tables™ is to help you identify United States coins having the best potential for solid value growth, based on past trend performance over a period of many years.
Some Coin Collectors Will Say... SO WHAT?
Yes, it's true; some individuals are in the coin collecting hobby without regard to the future growth potential of the coins they buy. That's fine, but most of us hope the coins we sacrifice to put in our collections will someday command coin prices far above what we paid for them... something we'll be proud to pass onto our children.
It's not greedy or shameful to seek coins for your collection that will actually show a substantial return... it's the SMART thing to do.

The first US Mint, built in Philadelphia in the year 1792, was a vision of our Founding Fathers. "Ye Olde Mint" helped establish a national identify for the fledgling US. In 1833, the original mint was abandoned, when a larger facility was opened. "Ye Olde Mint" survived until 1911. Image courtesy of Gary Nabors. |
The discovery of gold in California in 1848 ignited a mass migration westward, expanding the US from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A small quantity of California gold was minted into 1848 Quarter Eagles, indicated by the "CAL." mark on reverse.

Three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan is perhaps best remembered for his "Cross of Gold" speech in 1896. A disciple of silver-backed currency, Bryan's bitter opposition to the gold standard typified the pugnacious political climate dominating the 1890s. Public domain image. |
The Peace dollar was first issued in 1921, to commemorate the end of The Great War of 1914-1918. Tragically, the aftermath of that war set the stage for a far worse global conflict to come a couple of decades later.
