Description

The 1885-CC GSA Morgan Dollar w/Box & COA combines the classic Morgan Silver Dollar with the historic General Services Administration sales of U.S. Treasury-held silver dollars. Morgan Dollars were designed by George T. Morgan and struck in 90% silver during 1878–1904 and again in 1921.

This coin was struck at the Carson City Mint and carries the sought-after “CC” mint mark associated with western U.S. coinage and the Comstock-era silver economy. GSA-designated Morgan Dollars trace their collector provenance to Treasury holdings sold to the public through the GSA in the 1970s and 1980. The listing specifies the original presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity.
