- A glorious example that exhibits slightly mottled champagne-apricot iridescence on the obverse. The reverse is essentially brilliant, but with a hint of similar color at the lower border. Sharply struck and intensely lustrous with surfaces that are uncommonly smooth in a Morgan dollar from this stored Old West mint.<p>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 original 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/CAC MS-67, this specimen is among the finest certified survivors. It is a serious find for collectors assembling an advanced set of Carson City Mint coinage or Morgan silver dollars.
