1885-CC GSA Morgan Dollar NGC MS64

But for the GSA Hoard coins, the 1885-CC would be a really rare date! Only 228,000 coins minted, the vast majority of which have survived in fresh Unc, just like this coin. Why? Easy...they weren't in demand in 1885, so they were stored, and finally sold by the government in the 1970's. If they had gone into circulation like some of the other Carson City issues - 1889-CC for example - this coin would likely cost 10's of thousands, instead of less than 1.
