1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS-63

Carson City Morgan Dollars carry a mystique few series can match, and the 1883-CC ranks among the more approachable dates from Nevada's legendary mint without sacrificing the regional character collectors prize. Struck at the Carson City Mint during a period when silver dollar production was central to the economy of the American West, this coin represents one of the classic issues of the Morgan series. The CC mint mark below the eagle on the reverse ties this dollar directly to one of the most storied facilities in United States coinage history.

The obverse presents George T. Morgan's portrait of Liberty in sharp relief, with flowing hair, a cotton blossom, wheat stalks, and the tiara inscribed LIBERTY all clearly defined. The legend E PLURIBUS UNUM arcs above, framed by thirteen stars, and the date 1883 sits boldly at the base. The reverse features the heraldic eagle with wings spread, clutching an olive branch and arrows, surrounded by the arrowhead and laurel wreath design that defines the Morgan type. The reverse displays a rich, swirling patina ranging from warm amber and russet tones to blue-gray, giving this coin notable visual character.

PCGS has certified this example MS-63, indicating a fully mint-state coin with moderate contact marks consistent with the grade. The obverse retains solid luster beneath light toning, while the reverse shows the more pronounced and attractive multicolor patina visible in the images. The 1883-CC is a perennial favorite among Morgan collectors for its historical connection to the Carson City Mint and its relative accessibility compared to other CC-mint dates. For those building a date-and-mint set or seeking an eye-catching Carson City example, this coin presents well at the grade. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
