The 1880-CC Morgan Silver Dollar is a standout from the historic GSA Hoard, offering collectors both rarity and authentic Old West charm. Struck at the Carson City Mint during the height of the silver dollar era, this coin is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition within its original General Services Administration (GSA) government holder. Complete with the official outer box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA), this piece is a certified relic of U.S. monetary history.
Historical Insight:
The 1880-CC issue was produced during a time of massive silver output from the Comstock Lode, with the Carson City Mint at the center of it all. Despite a mintage just under half a million, relatively few high-grade examples survived in Treasury vaults—making those released through the GSA Hoard especially desirable. Each coin is a time capsule from the American West, complete with U.S. government certification and the unmistakable "CC" legacy. For collectors focused on condition, history, and original presentation, this GSA-certified 1880-CC Morgan is a must-have.
