Morgan, whose initial "M" appears on the obverse, was in charge of the design for the new 1878 dollar coin.

Dollar coins from that year and CC mintmark range from $1,750 to $531,000. Take a look again at this slot at your album. Luck might be with you! Morgan dollars minted from 1878-1890 measure 38.1 mm.
