The 1884-CC Morgan Silver Dollar, issued by the historic Carson City Mint, is a standout coin from the famed GSA Hoard. Struck during a period of peak silver production, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin is housed in its original U.S. government GSA holder, complete with the Treasury-issued box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA). With its blazing luster, bold "CC" mint mark, and pristine preservation, the 1884-CC is one of the most visually impressive and widely collected Carson City Morgan Dollars.
Historical Insight:
The 1884-CC Morgan Silver Dollar is among the best-preserved and most available coins from the GSA Hoard, thanks to a large quantity that remained untouched in Treasury vaults for decades. Its release in the 1970s as part of the GSA sales offered collectors the rare opportunity to own original U.S. Mint silver dollars still in government-issued packaging. As a result, this date has become a gateway piece for collectors entering the Carson City series. With its high quality, strong strike, and enduring Western heritage, the 1884-CC GSA Morgan is a must-have for anyone building a CC set or collecting iconic American coinage.
