Lot 1544
1885-CC Morgan Dollar. MS-63. Although 228,000 were struck in 1885 from this mint, demand was light so most simply sat in treasury vaults. A total of 148,000 of this original mintage was discovered laying around in inventory and by 1975 the government moved forward and decided to put them in plastic holders and sell them to the collecting public. Thus, most of the original mintage remains in various mint state grades, most are not even choice as offered here. This coin is bright, frosty and with few bagmarks.
