1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar in original GSA Black Display Box and Slab with COA
The 1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar is a highly popular and historically significant coin struck at the frontier Carson City Mint in Nevada. Despite a relatively low total mintage of 1,204,000 coins, it is remarkably common in uncirculated condition. This is because roughly 62% of the entire mintage was hidden away in U.S. Treasury vaults for nearly a century before being distributed to collectors in the famous General Services Administration (GSA) hoard sales during the 1970s and 1980s.
History & Mint Mintage
• Mintage: 1,204,000 pieces were struck at the Carson City Mint, making it the highest mintage of any CC-minted Morgan dollar.
• The GSA Hoard: Over 60% of these coins sat untouched in U.S. Treasury vaults until the 1970s, when they were officially sold to collectors in government-issued GSA (General Services Administration) packaging. Because of this, it is one of the most readily available Carson City Morgan dollars in uncirculated grades.
Factors That Increase Value
• GSA Hoard Hard Cases: Coins still preserved inside their original, vintage black plastic GSA holder complete with the box and certificate of authenticity hold a premium for collectors.
