1882-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 Deep Mirror Prooflike. A glittering white gem with hints of light golden toning around the edges; scarce in this condition since '82-CC more often comes frosty instead of prooflike. Some Silver Dollar researchers believe the first coins off off new dies are the ones with prooflike (or in this instance, Deep Mirro) surfaces. All too soon, the pressure and wear of striking causes the dies to revert to more typical "luster" which is the result of metal flow-lines streaming outwards from the centers on both sides (PCGS # 97135) .
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300.

1882-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 Deep Mirror Prooflike. A hint of light gold obverse toning. Very choice example whose two-tone finish (mirrored field against frosted devices) gives it the advantage over a more normal frosty coin in the eyes of many specialist collectors. The CC mintmark also gives it special interest (PCGS # 97135) .

1883 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 61. 1,039 struck. Well struck and untoned with some haziness and hairlines accounting for the modest grade. Sharp devices and a bold eagle. 1883 is another historic year in American history, for it witnessed the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. One of the great engineering feats of the late 19th century was the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. The success of the venture was, in large measure, due to the Roebling brothers who made the gigantic cables that held up the roadway. One of them died in the construction work. Some time after the bridge opened in 1883, a deranged person on the span suddenly shouted that it was falling and several people were killed in the wild panic that followed (PCGS # 7318) .
Estimated Value $900 - 1,000.

Built at the peak of the silver boom, 50 issues of silver coins and 57 issues of gold coins minted here between 1870 and 1893 bore the "CC" mint mark. The mint was established in Carson City to facilitate minting of silver coins from silver in the Comstock Lode, somewhat like how the San Francisco Mint was established to facilitate minting gold coins from the gold of the California gold rush (PCGS # 7153) .

1885 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67. Lovely colorful toning on both sides which centers on dusky violet and effervescent blue. 930 pieces struck.

Morgan Dollars were minted from 1878 to 1904 and again for one more year in 1921. It gets its name from its designer, George T. Morgan, who designed the obverse and reverse of the coin. Morgan's monogram appears near Liberty's neck on the obverse above the 1 in the date. The dollar was authorized by the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. It has a fineness of .900 (90 parts silver to 10 parts copper alloy), giving a total silver content of 0.77344 troy ounces (24.057 grams) per coin. Proofs were made in small quantities every year and sold to collectors for a small premium over face value plus postage by the Philadelphia Mint.
