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.

Even so, this issue is rare above the MS-66 grade level. At PCGS MS-67+, this specimen is among the very finest certified survivors. It is a serious find for the collector assembling the finest set of Carson City Mint coinage or Morgan silver dollars. PCGS Population: 12; 2 finer in this category (MS-68+ finest). PCGS# 7160.
