The coins may also have one or two small hairlines, but these will be not visible without the aid of magnification. This particular specimen features an intense, radiant brilliance with traces of golden toning on the periphery that frames the edges of the coin, while the central fields retain a clean, near-white appearance.

Obverse design elements on the 1885-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coins include an effigy of Lady Liberty. George T. Morgan created this effigy of Liberty in 1878 for the release of this coin. Anna Willess Williams sat through four portrait sessions with him to serve as inspiration for his image of Liberty.

Reverse visuals on the 1885-CC Morgan Silver Dollar depict the heraldic eagle of the United States. This design showcases a bald eagle in front-facing relief with the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons.

The Carson City Mint’s primary purpose was to strike silver coins for the United States Mint. It was opened in the state of Nevada specifically to take advantage of the large, local sources of silver that had been discovered in the area in the 1870s. One of its primary roles included striking Morgan Silver Dollars.

Although the Carson City Mint was built for the specific purpose of producing silver coins, its production of Morgan Silver Dollars was low compared to that of the Philadelphia, San Francisco, and New Orleans Mints. While these locations issued coins regularly throughout the period of 1878 to 1904, the Carson City Mint issued the coins only from 1878 to 1885 and 1889 to 1893.
