The 1885-CC Morgan Silver Dollar, graded PCGS MS-65 designated "Sight White," is a gem uncirculated example with blast white luster and exceptional eye appeal. PCGS has graded 4,712 as MS65 with 2,029 finer. Numismatic author Q. David Bowers writes of this coin: "Most examples are brilliant, lustrous, and attractive to the eye .... Most are well struck with brilliant, frosty lustre."
Struck from 90% silver, it features George T. Morgan's iconic Liberty head on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. With a mintage of only 228,000, it stands as a greatly desired issue in the series.
The Carson City Mint, established by Congress on March 3, 1863, was built to handle the silver influx from the Comstock Lode in Nevada. Operations began in 1870, producing coins with the distinctive "CC" mintmark until 1893, including dimes, quarters, halves, dollars, and gold pieces. Its short lifespan and low outputs make CC coins highly collectible.
This 1885-CC exemplifies the mint's legacy in the Wild West era, blending historical significance with numismatic desirability. Collectors prize it for its low mintage and pristine preservation.
