Double Struck 1884-CC Silver Dollar<br />
by Mike Byers<br />
Major Morgan Dollar mint errors<br />
are rare. This double struck<br />
1884 Silver Dollar is from<br />
the Carson City Branch <strong>Mint</strong>. Having a<br />
combination of rarity (Morgan Dollar),<br />
type of mint error (Double Struck) and<br />
where it was struck (“CC” Carson City<br />
Branch <strong>Mint</strong>) is phenomenal.<br />
It was sold by the U.S. GSA office in<br />
the 1970’s, when the U.S. Government<br />
released and sold a hoard of Silver<br />
Dollars. Although still in it’s original<br />
GSA holder, NGC has certified and<br />
graded it “Double Struck 1st Strike 25%<br />
Off-Center, <strong>Mint</strong> State 63 PL.” The first<br />
strike was 25% off-center. The second<br />
strike was seated properly in the collar<br />
and received a normal strike. Although<br />
some of the original off-center strike<br />
was obliterated, upon close examination,<br />
much detail remains on both sides.<br />
Major Carson City mint errors are among<br />
the most desired and valuable U.S. errors.<br />
