1885-CC Silver Dollar - 1885-CC S$1 DPL NGC MS64. This Mint State, deep proof-like 1885-CC Morgan sliver dollar has light, peripheral rainbow toning and is well struck. The frosty, light devices contrast with the deep mirrored fields, which are clean for the grade, with no abrasions worthy of individual mention. The strike is above average with full details on the hair above Libertys ear.

George T. Morgan designed the dollar coin. It 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.

The Morgan dollar was issued every year from 1878 to 1904 and then again in 1921. Hundreds of millions of them 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.
