GSA. The 1881-CC Morgan Silver Dollar is a standout Carson City issue, struck in a relatively modest mintage of 296,000 pieces. Its enduring popularity is tied to both its historic mint origin and its consistently strong eye appeal. This example, graded PCGS MS-65 and pedigreed to the GSA Hoard with CAC approval, represents a carefully preserved survivor from one of the most popular government releases of classic U.S. coinage.
Wayne Miller, author of The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook, writes, "The typical 1881-CC has full, frosty luster and bold strike .... On the whole, the 1881-CC is probably the highest quality Morgan dollar struck at the Carson City mint." That reputation is evident here, where vibrant luster and sharp definition combine to create a highly desirable Gem-level coin.
Population data underscores both availability and selectivity at this level. PCGS has graded 5,398 in MS65 with 3,015 finer. Of GSA Hoard coins, PCGS has graded 166 in MS65 with 173 finer. Within CAC-approved GSA Hoard examples, there are 93 in MS65 with 112 finer, confirming the added scarcity of premium-quality pieces.
