1884-CC S$1

Description

1884-CC Morgan Dollar, PCGS MS-66. This 1884-CC Morgan Dollar represents a popular entry point for collectors seeking Carson City coinage with strong eye appeal and exceptional preservation. The coin exhibits the characteristic luster and strike quality expected of gems from this prolific mintmark, with excellent detail throughout the design elements rendered by engraver George T. Morgan. The surfaces display the satiny brilliance typical of well-preserved specimens from this era. The 1884-CC is among the most frequently encountered dates in the Morgan Dollar series, thanks largely to the Treasury hoard discovered in the 1960s and distributed to collectors during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Despite its relatively high original mintage of 1,136,000 pieces, the CC mintmark commands a substantial collector premium. Most examples grade MS-63 to MS-64, making this PCGS MS-66 gem a notably scarcer find. High-grade specimens become increasingly difficult to locate above MS-66, with certified MS-67 examples becoming quite scarce and only three MS-68 specimens recorded by PCGS as of 2011. The coin's composition of 90% silver and 10% copper with a weight of 26.73 grams ensures both numismatic and intrinsic value. This is an attractive gem-quality example suitable for the advanced Morgan Dollar collector or type collector seeking quality Carson City representation. PCGS Certificate #56552435
