The 1884-CC Morgan Dollar was one of several Carson City minted silver dollars that were preserved in quantity for decades before being sold by the General Services Administration (GSA) in the 1970′s. Of the total mintage of 1,136,000 coins, the GSA Morgan Dollar hoard included an inventory of 962,638, or 84.7% of the total mintage. Out of all of the coins included in the hoard, the 1884-CC had the highest number and highest proportion of the original mintage.
The coins are often encountered in the original plastic GSA holders and boxes since most coins come from this source. Uncirculated examples are plentiful, with proof like and deep mirror proof like coins available.
