1881-CC Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS-62

1881-CC Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS62

Add an important Carson City issue to your collection with this 1881-CC Morgan Silver Dollar certified MS-62 by NGC. Struck during the fourth year of the Morgan Dollar series, this historic silver dollar combines a low original mintage, desirable Mint State preservation and the enduring popularity of the famous CC mint mark.

The Carson City Mint produced only 296,000 Morgan Dollars dated 1881, making the 1881-CC one of the lowest-mintage regular issues from the Carson City branch. Although surviving Mint State examples are available to collectors today, demand remains strong because of the date’s limited original production and its connection to Nevada’s historic silver-mining era.

This example has been evaluated by the Numismatic Guaranty Company and certified MS-62. A Mint State designation indicates that the coin was certified as uncirculated, although contact marks, abrasions or other grade-consistent characteristics may be present. The NGC holder provides long-term protection while clearly identifying the coin’s date, mint mark, denomination and assigned grade.

Each Morgan Silver Dollar contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounce of silver and was struck in a traditional composition of 90% silver and 10% copper. While its intrinsic silver value contributes to the coin’s appeal, most of the value of this 1881-CC example comes from its date, Carson City origin, certified grade, surviving availability and collector demand.
