1882-CC Morgan Dollar

The 1882-CC Morgan Silver Dollar is a highly sought-after coin among collectors, not only for its historical significance but also for its association with the Carson City Mint, which holds a special place in American numismatics. The Morgan Dollar series, designed by George T. Morgan, was minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. Its obverse features a portrait of Liberty, modeled after Anna Willess Williams, while the reverse displays an eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch.

The Carson City Mint, represented by the “CC” mint mark, operated in Nevada and played a pivotal role during the Silver Rush era. It was uniquely positioned near the Comstock Lode, one of the largest silver discoveries in U.S. history, making it a hub for minting silver coinage. The 1882-CC Morgan Dollar is part of a limited mintage, with only 1,133,000 struck, making it desirable for its rarity and the mystique surrounding Carson City coins.

Morgan Dollars were composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams with a diameter of 38.1 millimeters. Collectors value Carson City issues for their superior strike quality and connection to the history of the American West. This particular coin, graded MS64 by NGC, boasts exceptional luster and minimal marks, highlighting its well-preserved state.

The 1882-CC Morgan Dollar represents a tangible link to the era of westward expansion and silver mining. Its combination of history, beauty, and scarcity makes it a prized addition to any collection. Whether you are a seasoned collector or just beginning, this coin embodies the allure of American history and the legacy of the Carson City Mint.
