- A glorious example that exhibits delicate champagne-apricot peripheral iridescence on the reverse. The obverse, however, is vividly toned in mottled sea-green, reddish-rose, steel-olive and sandy-orange. Sharply struck and intensely lustrous with surfaces that are uncommonly smooth in a Morgan dollar from this stored Old West mint. An extremely popular issue with the third lowest mintage among circulation strike Morgan dollars, the 1885-CC was produced to the extent of just 228,000 pieces. A sizable percentage of the mintage (148,285 coins, or 64.9%) was distributed through the various GSA sales of 1972 to 1980, however, which has made Mint State examples readily obtainable in today's market. Even so, this issue is rare above the MS-66 grade level. At PCGS MS-67, this specimen is among the finer certified survivors. It is a serious find for collectors assembling an advanced set of Carson City Mint coinage or Morgan silver dollars.
