1882-CC GSA Hoard, Doubled Date & Ear One Dollar MS VAM-3 Values
Details
The 1882-CC Morgan dollar was released to the public by the GSA in huge numbers, with 605,029 sold over the course of the 1970s and early 1980s. This represents about half of the total 1,133,000 examples struck, suggesting large sums of these coins were simply never released in the immediate months and years after they were made. Most encountered in GSA hard packs and soft packs are uncirculated, though some are found with circulation wear. PLs and DMPLs in GSA packaging are rare and highly sought after.
Obverse: Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse: The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
