1885-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coins (GSA)

The Silver Morgan Dollars were produced by the Philadelphia Mint, San Francisco Mint, and Carson City Mint from the first year of availability in 1878. While the Philadelphia Mint and San Francisco Mint would strike the coins every year until the program ended in 1921, other mints like Carson City, New Orleans, and Denver did not have the same continuous production over the course of the program’s history. The Carson City Mint holds a few dubious records as a producer of Silver Morgan Dollars. Right now, 1885-CC Silver Morgan Dollars with GSA packaging are available to purchase online at Silver.com.

Each 1885-CC Silver Morgan Dollar available here at Silver.com comes with the packaging the Government Services Administration used when selling the coins in public auctions during the 1970s and early 1980s. The GSA packaged the coins individually in hard plastic holders following an audit of the more than $3 million in Silver Morgan Dollars found in US Treasury vaults in the 1960s.

Among the distinctions the Carson City Mint holds as a producer of Silver Morgan Dollars, it stands as one of the three original producers from 1878 and the only mint to strike the coins in two different periods: 1878-1885 and 1889-1893. The Carson City Mint is also notable for using locally-sourced silver in the coining of Silver Morgan Dollars and for producing the lowest volume of coins each year.

Liberty is found on the obverse side of 1885-CC Silver Morgan Dollars from the US Mint. This design was created by George T. Morgan with Anna Willess Williams sitting for portrait sessions with him as an inspiration for the Liberty design.

The heraldic eagle of the United States is depicted in the reverse design of 1885-CC Silver Morgan Dollars. Also developed by Morgan, the design shows the bald eagle with the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons. The bird is set in front-facing relief.

When a vast collection of Silver Morgan Dollars was found in Treasury vaults in the 1960s, the GSA audited the stores to determine how many coins were in the vaults, in which years the coins were struck, and by which mints. The GSA found that 95% of the coins were from the Carson City Mint. The uncirculated coins went straight from the Carson City Mint to Treasury vaults. For 1885, 148,300 coins from the original mintage of 238,000 wound up in the Treasury vault.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?
