1882-CC Morgan Silver Dollar

The Carson City Mint was busy in 1882 and produced 1,133,000 1882-CC Morgan Silver Dollars, the highest production since 1878. In 1964, the Treasury Department held back vast quantities of the 1882-CC, the 1883-CC, and the 1884-CC $1 silver coins and later distributed them to collectors and others. Today, beautiful Mint State pieces can be obtained for a reasonable price. Circulation strike coins are well-struck with beautiful, deep, frosty luster.

 The obverse text on the Morgan Dollar reads “Liberty; E Pluribus Unum; 1882.” The reverse text on the Liberty dollar reads “United States of America; In God We Trust; One Dollar; CC.” The obverse of the silver one dollar coin has a bust of a female facing the left wearing a cap and small crown, with flowers tucked in her hair and stars surrounding the border. The reverse of the Morgan Dollar has an eagle in the center with its wings spread and a wreath surrounding.
