1883-CC S$1

Description

1883-CC Morgan Dollar, PCGS MS65. This 1883-CC $1 represents one of the most frequently encountered Carson City Mint issues, a direct result of the massive Treasury vault discoveries of the 1960s. The Carson City Mint produced 1,204,000 examples that year, and large quantities survived in sealed bags of $1,000 face value, which were subsequently distributed by the General Services Administration in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Today, the 1883-CC remains extremely common across all Mint State grades, with MS64 being the most frequently seen designation among certified examples. The present example, graded PCGS MS65 (Certificate #30690683), represents a solidly attractive specimen of this accessible date. The 1883-CC is renowned among collectors for its strong strikes and deep, frosty luster, characteristics that make even circulated examples visually appealing. At the MS65 level, this coin displays the eye appeal and technical merit expected of a gem-quality Morgan dollar, while remaining significantly more affordable than higher grades. With a current PCGS population showing 4,315 examples graded MS65 or finer out of 10,205 total certified examples, this coin occupies a well-represented segment of the market. While Prooflike and Deep Mirror Prooflike variants of this date command premiums due to their scarcity and distinctive reflective surfaces, the standard strike represented here remains an excellent entry point for collectors seeking quality Carson City Mint dollars at reasonable valuations.
