Product Details
This 1884-CC Morgan Dollar, graded MS-66 by PCGS, brings a tangible piece of the American frontier into your collection. Minted at the legendary Carson City Mint, it's a shining example of Wild West history and a cornerstone for any numismatist.
Imagine the dusty streets of Carson City, Nevada, a bustling hub fueled by the silver boom, where this very coin was struck in 1884. Designed by George T. Morgan, the celebrated English engraver, the Morgan Dollar quickly became a symbol of American expansion. This particular piece, bearing the coveted "CC" mint mark, carries the unique legacy of a mint established to turn the vast riches of the Comstock Lode into circulating coinage.
The obverse proudly displays a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty, her cap adorned with "LIBERTY" and a wreath of cotton and wheat, surrounded by 13 stars and the year "1884". The reverse features a majestic eagle with outstretched wings clutching arrows and an olive branch, encircled by "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR", with the distinct "CC" mint mark nestled above the "DO" in "DOLLAR". This coin is composed of .900 fine silver, containing 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver, and measures 38.1 mm in diameter with a thickness of 3.1 mm, weighing 1.930 troy ounces in total.
While the original mintage for the 1884-CC Morgan Dollar was 1,136,000, its story takes an intriguing turn. A significant portion of these coins, over 84% of the mintage, were later rediscovered as part of the fabled "GSA Hoard" in the 1960s. This incredible find means that coins like this MS-66 PCGS certified example are surprisingly accessible in such pristine condition, making it a fantastic opportunity for collectors seeking high-grade Carson City issues. Owning this coin isn't just about precious metal; it's about holding a piece of American ingenuity and the enduring spirit of the frontier, making it an ideal acquisition for those who appreciate both historical significance and numismatic quality.
