Coins with a certified grade are a worthwhile addition to any collection. That’s particularly true when a coin is as iconic as the GSA Morgan Dollar, popular on collector’s markets ever since the discovery of an extraordinary hoard in the late Sixties and their dispersal through a government program in the Seventies and early Eighties. Graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company, the world’s leading third-party coin grading service which has issued Sheldon scale grades for over 55 million coins since its founding, the 1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coin is now on offer from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
This 1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coin ships in a protective plastic slab with a label that verifies its NGC grade of MS63 or Mint State 63. This identifies it as fairly attractive to the eye despite the presence of numerous small contact marks, hairline scratches, and a couple of large marks in prime focal areas. Provident Metals tracks and fully insures each shipment against any chance of loss or damage.
Obverse
Featuring a bust of Lady Liberty, the obverse side of the coin carries the inscriptions “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “1883.” Thirteen decorative stars at the rim represent each of the Union’s founding states.
Reverse
The reverse side of the coin features a heraldic eagle clutching a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in each of its talons. It’s accompanied by the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ONE DOLLAR,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
History
A rising demand for silver dollars in the late Fifties and early Sixties led to the transformative discovery of what eventually would be called the GSA Hoard of Morgans, previously uncirculated coins that had resided in the Treasury’s vaults for decades. A supply of three million silver dollars, many of them having come from the Carson City Mint in the 19th century, was discovered during the Sixties and put up for auction by the General Services Administration in the Seventies and the early Eighties. One of the most numerous coins in the hoard was the 1883 Morgan Silver Dollar, which remains one of the most popular collector’s items on the market to this day.
