The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: George T. Morgan's iconic portrait of Lady Liberty faces left, her hair bound in a Phrygian cap adorned with wheat and cotton, symbolizing American agricultural abundance. Thirteen stars encircle her profile, representing the original colonies, while the word LIBERTY crowns her headband. The date 1884 anchors the design below her graceful neck.

Reverse: A powerful heraldic eagle dominates the reverse, wings spread wide, clutching arrows and an olive branch—symbols of America's readiness for war and preference for peace. A wreath of laurel and oak frames the eagle, while the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR complete the design. The mint mark CC appears below the wreath, marking this coin's Carson City origin.

Why Collectors Choose This Piece

Carson City Morgan Dollars command premium prices due to their limited production and storied history. The CC mint mark represents the Wild West era of American coinage, struck in the heart of Nevada's silver mining country. GSA-holdered examples are particularly desirable because they offer original government packaging and documented provenance from the Treasury hoard release.

The MS 63 grade strikes an excellent balance between quality and value—these coins display strong luster and detail without the premium commanded by higher grades. As a tangible silver asset with numismatic significance, this Morgan Dollar offers both precious metal content and collector appeal, making it an ideal addition to any portfolio focused on classic U.S. coinage.

Important Note: Due to the age of these GSA items, some natural toning or hazing may be present on the coin. The exterior packaging and box may show reasonable wear from storage over the decades. These characteristics are typical of authentic GSA holdings and should be expected when purchasing these historic pieces.
