Morgan Silver Dollars issued by the Carson City Mint in the 1880s offer a unique glimpse into the history of the American West. This 1882-CC Morgan Dollar was produced at the Nevada-based mint using silver from the Comstock Lode, embodying the history of the American West’s bullion-to-coin era in the 1880s. This particular piece offers crisp definition with a brilliant, frosted appeal. Right now, the 1882-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1882-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coin is in Mint State 67 condition, indicating the presence of three or four minuscule contact marks, with only one or two in the primary focal fields. Overall, this coin presents a brilliant, nearly untoned appearance with blast white frost on both sides, as well as sharp details in the bust of Liberty and the eagle. Legends on both sides are clean and even, with luminous surfaces.
In 1882, the American economy continued its expansion with railroad construction booming and industrial output rising, though agricultural commodity prices remained depressed, keeping the free silver movement politically potent. Carson City struck 1,133,000 Morgan dollars that year, a substantial increase from previous years as the Comstock Lode continued producing silver ore, though the region’s greatest mining days were behind it.
On the obverse of the 1882-CC Morgan Dollar Coin is George T. Morgan’s left-profile depiction of Lady Liberty. The design follows a traditional interpretation, showing Liberty with a Phrygian cap, a coronet crown, and a laurel wreath positioned around her head.
On the reverse of the 1882-CC Morgan Silver Dollar appears the heraldic eagle. Morgan’s artwork presents a bald eagle looking straight ahead with its wings opened to each side while its talons hold the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace.
