1882-1884-CC Morgan Dollar BU (GSA)

The Carson City Mint holds a legendary status in American numismatics, and the silver dollars struck there between 1882 and 1884 represent a fascinating era of coinage. Born from the mandates of the Bland-Allison Act of 1878, these heavy silver coins contain 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver, minted with a fineness of 0.900. Each coin survives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, preserving the sharp details of their original manufacture. On the obverse side, the profile of Liberty faces left, wearing a Phrygian cap decorated with cotton balls and wheat stalks. The reverse features a bald eagle with its wings spread wide, holding an olive branch and a cluster of arrows in its talons. Struck in the heart of the American West, these historic dollars carry the famous 'CC' mint mark, representing a brief and celebrated chapter in United States minting history.
