Why this coin matters

The 1883-CC Morgan Dollar was struck at the Carson City Mint with a recorded mintage of 1,204,000 coins — the 22nd-lowest of the 96 circulation-strike issues in the morgan dollar series, and 4% of the 28,469,000 morgan dollars the Mint produced across all facilities in 1883.

Majority of mintage survived uncirculated in the GSA hoard.
