1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar – GSA Hoard – NGC MS61 – Complete Provenance Set
This offering is a true prize for the advanced Morgan Dollar collector: an 1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar, graded MS61 by NGC, preserved in its original Carson City GSA holder, and accompanied by the full 1974 U.S. Treasury documentation package.
Museum-Quality Provenance
Original GSA presentation case
GSA box of issue
Official 1974 GSA invitation to bid flyer
Government letter from Edna Howard, Contracting Officer, detailing the limited release of only 3,609 pieces in the historic sale
Certificate of Authenticity
This complete set represents far more than a coin — it is a tangible piece of numismatic history, linking directly back to the legendary Treasury vault releases of the 1970s. Very few examples survive today with all original paperwork intact.
Why the 1879-CC Matters
The 1879-CC is among the key Carson City issues, with only a fraction of the original mintage discovered in the GSA hoard. Advanced specialists know that the 1879-CC is second only to the 1889-CC in desirability across the series, and examples with verified GSA pedigree carry an undeniable premium.
