A popular coin with collectors in the last four or five decades, the GSA Morgan Dollar had previously been obscure until an extraordinary chain of events played out in the 1960s: starting with a surge in popularity for silver coins, a few uncirculated coins in the original mint bags were found in an annual release, and this proved to be only the tip of the iceberg. Three million GSA Morgan Dollars were later discovered — they were nicknamed the GSA Hoard of Morgans — and gradually introduced to the collector’s market with government auctions. These coins remain sought-after today, including the 1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coin, now available from Provident Metals.

This 1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coin ships in a protective plastic slab labeled to indicate its certified NGC grade of MS64; this identifies it as attractive to the eye that shows a few scattered contact marks and hairline scratches. Provident Metals tracks and fully insures each shipment against any possibility of loss or damage.

Obverse

The coin’s obverse side features a profile effigy of Lady Liberty with the inscriptions “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “1883,” while thirteen decorative stars at the rim stand in for each one of the Union’s founding states.

Reverse

The reverse side features a heraldic eagle clutching a bundle of arrows and an olive branch. It’s accompanied by inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ONE DOLLAR,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”

History

The initial rush on silver that ultimately led to the discovery of the GSA Hoard of Morgans started in 1958 and led to a fundamental turning point in numismatic history. Bringing millions of coins into the collector’s market established the GSA Morgan Dollar as a keenly sought-after item for collectors, and they attain more value as a long-term investment with a certified grade. The NGC (Numismatics Guaranty Company), one of the world’s leading companies in that certification space, estimates the number of coins it has graded at 55 million since it was founded in 1987, making its grade on this coin one of the best certifications available in today’s market.
