Description
- Absolute Rarity: Minuscule mintage of only 228,000 coins, 3rd lowest of all Morgan Dollars
- Absolute Rarity describes a coin with such a low mintage that it is difficult to find in any condition
- Condition Rarity: Less than 1% have been graded MS65 in original GSA packaging
- Condition Rarity occurs when few coins survive in high grades making them difficult to find
- Housed in the original GSA packaging, just as it was auctioned off when it was released from the government hoard
- Struck in 1885 at the Carson City Mint of the Wild West
- Carson City Morgan Dollars were only struck for 13 years
- Morgan Dollars were struck from 1878 to 1921
- Due to the Pittman Act of 1918, nearly half of all Morgan Dollars were melted down
