1884-CC Morgan Silver Dollar GSA NGC MS66

Mother Lode Of Morgans From The Mother Lode Mint

In 1962, the United States Treasury found a mother lode of mint-fresh bags of Morgan Silver Dollars from the fabled Carson City Mint. In order to make these spectacular Carson City Morgans available to all Americans, the General Services Administration (GSA) held a series of sales between 1972 and 1980.

Morgans Still In Sealed In GSA Holders!

Each coin struck from Comstock Lode silver was sealed into a large black GSA holder. Today, many collectors believe these holders were the inspiration for today’s “slab.” Over the years, most of these GSA CC Morgans have been removed from their original holders. After a great effort, we’ve located a small number of GSA Carson City Morgans, including this 1884-CC Morgan in Gem Uncirculated Mint State-66 (MS66) condition. Don’t miss your chance to own this historic Silver Dollar “Time Capsule.”

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• COINS COME HOUSED IN FAMOUS GSA HOLDERS – All of the Morgan Silver Dollars sold by the General Services Administration (GSA) between 1972 and 1980 came housed in a distinctive black holder. While those holders have served as the inspiration for today’s coin “slabs,” many of the Morgans that were part of the original sales have been removed, making those still in their holders that much scarcer and harder to find.
• KEY MINT MARK AND DATE – Morgan Silver Dollars from the Carson City Mint are the epitome of America’s Wild West. Struck from silver mined from the famous Comstock Lode, coins like these jingled in the pockets of sheriffs, outlaws, cattle barons, and gamblers as they tamed the Wild West.
• HIGH SILVER CONTENT – Each coin available here was struck in 26.73 grams of highly pure 90% fine silver and measures 38.1 mm in diameter.
• GEM UNCIRCULATED CONDITION – You coin was struck in 1884 at the Carson City Mint and has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) in Gem Uncirculated Mint State-66 (MS66) condition.
• THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGANS – While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence—and fewer still remain in Uncirculated condition!

The Carson City Mint was closest to the source of the silver being used to strike Morgans: The Comstock Lode in Nevada. The quality of the coins struck there are usually the best of all. “CC” Morgans feature crisp strikes and frosty surfaces and are among the most desirable of all Morgans. And those in GSA holders like these beauties are among the most unique in the entire history of Morgan Silver Dollars!
