1884-CC S$1

Description

1884-CC Morgan Dollar, PCGS MS-65. This 1884-CC Morgan Dollar represents a classic example from the Carson City Mint, one of the most collectible mintmarks in the entire Morgan Dollar series. Struck from 90% silver and 10% copper with a total weight of 26.73 grams, this coin exhibits the characteristic design by George T. Morgan that defined an era of American coinage. The Carson City mintmark carries significant numismatic prestige despite the 1,136,000 coin mintage for this date. The MS-65 grade places this example in the gem category, representing a notable achievement for the date. Population data indicates that while higher grades exist in the market, MS-65 specimens remain desirable, particularly as the vast majority of 1884-CC dollars grade MS-63 or MS-64. Most examples of this issue derive from the Treasury hoard discovered in the 1960s and distributed to collectors in the late 1970s and early 1980s, making certified gems increasingly significant to advanced collectors. The strong collector premium commanded by Carson City Mint issues ensures continued demand for this denomination. With a PCGS certification number 54298301, this coin offers both numismatic appeal and the security of professional authentication.
