Morgan 1883 'CC' Silver Dollar, (Minted In Carson City) GSA.

Morgan 1883 'CC' Silver Dollar, (Minted In Carson City) GSA.

The silver strike called the Comstock Lode, the largest in U.S. history, gave birth to the Carson City Mint (‘CC’). The Carson City Mint coined Morgans for only 13 years between 1878 and 1893, a paltry 2% of all Morgan Dollars minted. This small population has made ‘CC’ Morgans the darlings of collectors.
Now consider the fact that many Morgans were lost to the melting pot in the early 20th century, and you see why the surviving Carson City minted Morgans are considered the rarest and desirable of all Morgan mint marks.

GSA stands for Government Services Administration. It is the part of the government that was tasked to make these coins available to the public. The GSA Hoard of Morgans was almost 3 million coins, with over 95% coming from the Carson City Mint!
