1882-CC Morgan Silver Dollar $1 GSA PCGS MS 65
Recovered from one of the most famous U.S. Treasury silver dollar hoards ever discovered, the 1882-CC Morgan Silver Dollar $1 GSA PCGS MS 65 is a highly desirable Carson City issue that combines exceptional preservation, historical significance, and collector prestige. Housed in its original GSA holder, it is a highly coveted piece of numismatic history, cherished for its rarity and connection to the legendary Carson City Mint.
The Carson City Mint operated from 1870 to 1893 and produced some of the most collectible coins in American history. Located near Nevada's rich Comstock Lode silver deposits, the mint struck relatively low mintages compared to its Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco counterparts. As a result, Carson City Morgan Dollars have long been prized by collectors for their scarcity and connection to the American Wild West.
The story of the GSA Hoard adds another layer of intrigue. During the 1960s and 1970s, the U.S. Treasury discovered millions of previously unknown Morgan Silver Dollars stored in government vaults, many of them Carson City issues that had never entered circulation. The General Services Administration was tasked with marketing these coins to the public, preserving them in special holders and forever linking them to one of the most significant numismatic discoveries in U.S. history.
