1885-CC Morgan Dollar MS-61 PCGS
1885-CC Morgan Dollar MS-61 PCGS
The 1885 Morgan silver dollar stands as a remarkable survivor from a bygone era of American coinage. Minted in the historic frontier town of Carson City, Nevada, this coin carries the famous "CC" mint mark, a detail highly prized by those who study the history of the American West. Production of this specific issue was remarkably limited, with only 228,000 of these silver dollars struck in total. Crafted from 90 percent silver, the coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features the classic profile of Liberty surrounded by stars and the date 1885, while the reverse displays an eagle with outstretched wings. This particular specimen has been professionally graded as Mint State 61 (MS-61), indicating it remains in uncirculated condition with its original luster intact despite the passage of well over a century.
