The 1882-CC Morgan Silver Dollar emerged from the Carson City Mint, a remote fortress of coinage nestled in Nevada’s high desert, established in 1870 to process Comstock Lode silver. NGC has graded 1,141 as MS63PL with 1,516 finer.
Operating amid boomtown chaos—gunfights, saloons, and sudden wealth—the mint struck coins under constant threat of theft, its iron doors guarding fortunes.
This coin, graded NGC MS-63 Prooflike, gleams with mirror fields from freshly polished dies. Its uncirculated state preserves the mint’s crisp handiwork, untouched by the dusty trails it was meant to traverse. The Prooflike sheen evokes moonlight on sagebrush, a romantic echo of Nevada nights when silver flowed like legend.
Rescued from the GSA Hoard—millions of Morgans sealed in Treasury vaults since the 1890s—this piece survived decades of obscurity. Rediscovered in the 1960s, it arrived in its original holder, boxed with COA, a time capsule from Carson City’s final chapter. The mint closed in 1893, but this coin carries its defiant spirit, linking collectors to a vanished era of silver kings and untamed horizons.
