Description
- silver
A milky white example, well struck, with sparsely scattered bagmarks, few distracting. The first C in the mintmark nearly closed. The 1885-CC is a curious issue; the mintage of 228,000 is the fourth lowest of all Morgan silver dollars, but nearly two-thirds remained in storage until the mid-20th century when they were released by the government. Although the population of mint state examples is high (more than 40,000 have been certified by the two major grading services), truly high grade examples (as the two in this collection) remain rare.
