1885-CC Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS64 w/Ryder Signature

Key-Date 1885-CC Morgan Silver Dollar

The election of Grover Cleveland in the 1884 Presidential Election spelled doom for the Carson City Mint. The Democrats were not pro-silver and all the Republicans who worked at the Carson City Mint were let go. Also, to cut the budget, President Cleveland ordered the Carson City Mint to close, which it did in 1885. That makes these 1885-dated Morgan Silver Dollars available here especially significant considering that of the 640 million Morgans that were ever minted, only 13.8 million—an astounding 2%—were struck at the Carson City Mint and have the “CC” mint mark!

Fabulous High-Grade Wild West Morgans From The Carson City Mint

These coins were the workhorses of the American Wild West, struck from silver mined from Nevada’s famous Comstock Lode. The Carson City Mint is the mint responsible for the smallest number of Morgans struck. Coins like these would have traveled in the saddlebags and pockets of cowboys, soldiers, gunfighters, and settlers across America’s Wild West. Now a Nevada State museum, The Carson City Mint displays the original ingot molds, tools, and minting dies it used to strike the famous Morgan Silver Dollar. The opportunity to own any silver piece bearing the legendary “CC” mint mark should not be passed up, particularly a high-grade Morgan Silver Dollar like the ones available here.
