1884-CC Morgan Silver Dollar - 1884-CC Morgan $1 GSA MS64 CAC. This Western branch mint, near-Gem, white 1884-CC Morgan Dollar comes from the General Services Administration hoard. The coin is well struck with full details on the hair above Libertys ear and on the eagles breast feathers. The piece is fully lustrous with frosty devices over satiny fields. The surfaces are original and clean for the grade, with no individual abrasion marks worthy of description. The CAC sticker confirms that the coin is a premium quality piece and well within the assigned grade range.

George T. Morgan designed the Morgan silver dollar, which was issued every year from 1878 to 1904 and then again in 1921. Hundreds of millions of Morgan silver dollars were saved in bags of 1,000 each in bank vaults because the federal government created artificial demand for them to satisfy the Western silver interests. Some were melted in the 1918, but large quantities remained in bank vaults and were later bought by investors and collectors. Because many millions of Morgan silver dollars exist today in the hands of the public, the Morgan silver dollar has become the most widely collected coin of its era.

Morgans design for the dollar shows a close head of Liberty in profile facing left. She wears a headband inscribed LIBERTY. In her hair are cotton, corn, wheat, and tobacco. She wears a modified Phrygian cap and is surrounded with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, thirteen stars (seven left and six right), and the date. The reverse shows an eagle with wings raised looking left. In its talons are arrows and olive branch, symbols of preparedness and peace. A wreath is below and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is above. Except for the eagles wing tips, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR circumscribe the design. The mintmark is below the wreath and above the denomination.

Since almost all of the original mintage of this date exists in Mint State, it has become an excellent type coin to represent the Carson City Mint, particularly so with the GSA provenance.
