One of the lowest mintage dates for the Morgan Silver Dollar at the Carson City Mint came in 1881. Just the fourth year of production at the mint, only 296,000 Morgan Silver Dollars were produced by the Carson City Mint in 1881. More than half of those coins were never released into circulation and spent nearly a century in US Treasury vaults before being released to collectors through public auctions in the 1970s and 1980s courtesy of the Government Services Administration. Today, 1881-CC Morgan Silver Dollars with original GSA packaging are available to you online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
When the Morgan Silver Dollar debuted in 1878, the US Mint struck the coins at its Philadelphia, Carson City, and San Francisco branch mints. The Carson City Mint struck the coins from 1878 to 1885 and again from 1889 to 1893. The primary reason behind the founding of the Carson City Mint was to produce silver coinage for the US Mint using silver from mines in Nevada. Morgan Silver Dollars were a big part of the coining program at the Carson City Mint.
All of these 1881-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available to you for purchase with the full GSA packaging from the 1970s. When the GSA packaged the coins for sale in its public auctions in the 70s and 80s, the coins were directly packaged in hard plastic holders and set within a presentation box that featured a Certificate of Authenticity. This is how you will receive your 1881 Morgan Dollar.
The discovery of $3 million in silver dollars in US Treasury vaults in the 1960s resulted in a pause in silver dollar payouts when Silver Certificates were redeemed by the public. An audit by the GSA found that 95% of the coins were uncirculated specimens from the Carson City Mint. Of the only 296,000 coins originally struck in Carson City in 1881, the GSA found 147,500 in the US Treasury vaults.
On the obverse of 1881-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coins is a depiction of Lady Liberty. This portrait from 1878 captures Liberty in left-profile relief with a coronet and a wreath crown in her hair, and a ring of 13 stars around her portrait. The reverse field of 1881-CC Morgan Dollars comes with George T. Morgan’s version of the heraldic eagle. It depicts only a bald eagle with the olive branch of peace and the arrows of war in its talons.
