1884 cc Morgan Dollar MS65

1884 cc Morgan Dollar MS65 brings the Carson City Mint into focus for collectors drawn to the Morgan Dollar series. Struck in 1884, this issue stands out for its distinctive mint mark and place among the branch-mint silver dollars that continue to attract dedicated buyers. George T. Morgan’s Liberty portrait appears on the obverse with a heraldic eagle on the reverse.

The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, with a weight of 0.7734 troy ounces, giving it the solid feel and intrinsic value that define the series. Morgan dollars were produced from 1878 through 1904 and again in 1921, becoming the most collected classic U.S. silver dollar. Collectors seek specific dates and mint marks from the Carson City Mint, while the silver content adds lasting appeal beyond the original face value.
