1885-CC Morgan Silver Dollar GSA Hoard NGC MS-63 CAC

The 1885-CC Morgan Silver Dollar represents one of the final years of silver dollar production at the Carson City Mint, which ceased operations in 1893. This particular example originates from the General Services Administration Hoard, a cache of millions of silver dollars discovered in Treasury vaults and dispersed to the public through a series of sales beginning in 1972. Carson City issues have long held special appeal among Morgan dollar collectors due to the mint's relatively brief operational period and the romantic association with Nevada's Comstock Lode silver mining era.

George T. Morgan's obverse design presents Liberty in left-facing profile, her hair bound with a coronet inscribed LIBERTY and adorned with cotton bolls and wheat ears symbolizing agricultural prosperity. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle with wings spread, clutching an olive branch and arrows, encircled by a laurel wreath with the CC mint mark positioned below. This example exhibits a well-executed strike with sharp definition in Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's breast feathers, complemented by bright, satiny luster across both surfaces.

Graded MS-63 by NGC with CAC approval confirming quality within the assigned grade, this coin displays attractive cartwheel luster with minimal contact marks consistent with its grade level. The original GSA hard pack holder has been preserved and encapsulated by NGC, maintaining both the coin's provenance documentation and its pristine government packaging. Carson City Morgan dollars from the GSA Hoard remain highly sought after by type collectors and specialists alike. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
