The 1884-CC Morgan Silver Dollar is a highlight of the GSA hoard, discovered in U.S. Treasury vaults in the 1960s and sold by the General Services Administration starting in 1972. With 962,000 of the 1,136,000 minted found in the hoard, it’s among the most common GSA dates (1882-1884), yet its Carson City origin and uncirculated condition make it highly sought after. The “CC” mintmark, tied to the Comstock Lode’s silver, evokes the rugged era of miners and outlaws, while the GSA holder—often considered the precursor to modern slabs—adds numismatic significance.
Condition: Presented in Brilliant Uncirculated condition within its original GSA holder, this coin boasts full mint luster and sharp details, from Liberty’s flowing hair to the eagle’s feathers. The GSA slab and accompanying black box with COA may show minor wear from storage, but the coin remains pristine, untouched by circulation. Minor bag marks typical of BU Morgans may be visible under magnification.
