Morgans that carry the mint mark, "CC" are usually rare and highly sought after in the coin collection world. The "CC" stands for Carson City, Nevada, where the coin was minted. Only 296,000 Carson City Morgans were minted in 1881, thus being a priority item for many collectors' collections. Morgans were first minted in 1878 and stopped their production in 1904. The government tried to pass many laws prohibiting the sale of free silver from freelance miners and instead be purchased at a certain amount from the market. The government silver reserves depleted, causing the production of the Morgan to end. Your 1881-CC Morgan is in brilliant uncirculated and is in a grade that is very difficult to come by with Morgans. Since most Morgans were either in circulation or stored away in bags, finding a Morgan that is a MS65 or above is very difficult. This coin is a rare gem that can upgrade your Morgan collection any day!
