1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC.
An exceptionally attractive example of this popular and conditionally challenged Carson City Mint Morgan dollar. The obverse is particularly noteworthy as it displays sweeping crescents of multicolored iridescence that includes cobalt blue, salmon pink and olive-gold, among other colors. The otherwise brilliant reverse has subtle champagne-gold highlights at the left and right borders. Both sides sport full mint frost and a sharply executed strike.
The Nevada mint produced 1,204,000 silver dollars in 1883. Although several 1,000-coin bags were released from federal holdings in 1938, during the 1950s and again in the early 1960s, 755,518 examples were held back until distributed as part of the various General Service Administration (GSA) sales of the 1970s. Since the coins sold through that venue represented approximately 62% of the original mintage, it should come as no surprise that the 1883-CC is one of the most common Carson City Mint Morgan dollars in Mint State. Indeed it is second only to the 1884-CC in this regard and also ranks alongside the 1882-CC as one of the quintessential type candidates in this CC-Mint series. (All three of these issues were similarly represented in the GSA sales.) On the other hand, no Carson City Mint Morgan dollar can rightly be considered common in the finest Mint State grades. Jostled around in original bags for years on end, most examples acquired enough abrasions to grade no finer than MS-64 by today's standards. The 1883-CC is certainly obtainable in MS-65 and MS-66, but above that level the conditionally rare nature of the issue comes to the fore. Ranking among the finest certified survivors, and with extraordinary toning, this delectable Superb Gem is sure to excite both advanced Morgan dollar collectors and Carson City Mint specialists.
PCGS Population: 34; 6 finer in this category (all MS-68).
