1885-CC GSA Morgan Dollar (BOX & COA)

The 1885-CC Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the crown jewels of the GSA Hoard and a favorite among Carson City collectors. Struck during the final years of the Carson City Mint's operations, this coin boasts the iconic "CC" mint mark and is preserved in stunning Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Still sealed in its original U.S. government GSA plastic holder and accompanied by the Treasury-issued box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA), the 1885-CC offers exceptional eye appeal and historic value.

Historical Insight:

The 1885-CC is one of the lowest-mintage Morgan Dollars in the entire series and among the rarest "CC" issues in GSA packaging. For decades, its survival was uncertain until a limited number were uncovered in Treasury vaults and distributed in the 1970s GSA sales. Their scarcity, paired with their sharp strikes and brilliant preservation, make them highly prized by collectors. As one of the final Carson City releases, the 1885-CC Morgan holds a special place in U.S. coin history and is often considered a cornerstone of any high-grade Morgan or GSA collection.
