1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS-64 VAM-4 GSA HOARD

1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar — NGC MS-64 GSA Hoard VAM-4

A beautiful 1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar, certified NGC MS-64 and attributed VAM-4, with its important GSA Hoard pedigree.

Struck at the historic Carson City Mint, the 1883-CC is one of the classic Carson City Morgan Dollars and one of the dates most closely associated with the legendary GSA Hoard. The 1883-CC had a relatively low mintage of 1,204,000 coins. Millions of Carson City silver dollars had been stored in U.S. Treasury vaults before being transferred and ultimately sold by the General Services Administration beginning in the 1970s. The 1882-CC, 1883-CC, and 1884-CC were among the most common Carson City dates represented in the GSA Hoard.

VAM-4 Variety

This coin is attributed as VAM-4, a recognized die variety within the 1883-CC Morgan Dollar series. VAM varieties are collected by specialists who study the individual die marriages and distinctive characteristics of Morgan Dollars. PCGS recognizes the 1883-CC VAM-4 as a distinct die variety and also lists GSA Hoard examples separately within its Morgan Dollar variety classifications.

GSA Hoard Provenance

The GSA Hoard represents millions of silver dollars that had been held in U.S. Treasury storage before being sold by the General Services Administration from 1972 through 1980. Uncirculated coins were generally distributed in the familiar GSA hard plastic holders, which have become an important part of the collecting history and provenance of these Carson City Morgan Dollars. NGC continues to recognize and certify Morgan Dollars preserved in their original GSA holders.

The combination of Carson City origin, GSA Hoard provenance, NGC MS-64 certification, and VAM-4 attribution makes this an appealing piece for both Morgan Dollar and specialized VAM collectors.
