History: The 1881-CC Morgan Dollar is one of the scarcer Carson City issues, with a low mintage of just 296,000—one of the smallest Morgan Dollar mintages. Due to its limited production, high-grade examples are heavily sought after by collectors.

Grade & Value: PCGS MS61 means the coin has minor contact marks but retains strong luster and detail. 1881-CC Morgans in MS61 typically range from $800 to $1,200, depending on eye appeal and demand. Higher grades, such as MS64 and MS65, can fetch $2,000+ due to the rarity of well-preserved Carson City issues.
