Carson City 1882 Gem Morgan Dollar Toner in SBG June Auction

By James McCartneySenior Numismatist, Stack’s Bowers ……
For most collectors, the 1882-CC Morgan dollar is the quintessential Carson City issue. Just 1.1 million coins were struck, placing it among the lower mintages of the series and falling significantly behind the 11.1 million dollars struck in Philadelphia the same year. However, thanks to the Treasury and GSA releases in the 1960s and ’70s, it is likely that more than half of the original mintage survives and remains in the hands of collectors today. While many of these are in Uncirculated condition, most are in grades of MS-64 or lower due to bagmarks and other traces of handling or improper storage.

We are thrilled to offer an exceptional MS-65 * (NGC) example in lot 3485 of our June Santa Ana Auction. Each side is vibrantly toned in rainbow colors, with rings of gold, turquoise and crimson growing deeper toward the borders. The underlying luster is rich and fully undisturbed, with an area of pearly brilliance shining through at the central obverse. Combining both superior eye appeal and surface preservation, this is an ideal example for Carson City Mint specialists and 19th-century type collectors.

This rainbow Gem Carson City 1882-CC Morgan dollar will be offered lot 3485 of our June 2020 Santa Ana Auction, featured alongside the Francesca Collection of US Gold Coins, Vermont coppers from the Q. David Bowers Collection, the Dazzling Rarities Collection, and many other rarities. The sale is currently available for bidding and viewing on our website www.StacksBowers.com or you may contact us to secure a copy of the printed catalog.
