Lot Description

This outstanding Superb Gem Morgan dollar is fully struck with highly lustrous surfaces. Wisps of reddish-orange and cobalt blue iridescence are scattered about to further enhance the eye appeal. An extremely popular issue with the third lowest mintage among circulation strike Morgan dollars, the 1885-CC was produced to the extent of just 228,000 pieces. A sizable percentage of the mintage (148,285 coins, or 64.9%) was distributed through the various GSA sales of 1972 to 1980, however, which has made Mint State examples readily obtainable in today's market. Even so, this issue is rare above the MS-66 grade level. At PCGS/CAC MS-67, that offered here is among the finest certified survivors. It is a serious find for collectors assembling an advanced set of Carson City Mint coinage or Morgan silver dollars.
