Lot Title: 1885-CC MS-60.
Description: This is a bright Morgan Dollar that is from the ever popular Carson City Mint. It has rolling luster and a descent strike. There is some chatter on the cheek, but it is commensurate for the grade.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $300.00
High Estimate: $450.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.
Hammered Price: $425.00
Price Realized: $488.75

868The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$575.00
1885-CC GSA MS-62.
Campania Estate. The portrait shows abrading overall, though the fields have escaped most obtrusive contact, with the reverse seemingly showing MS-63 quality. White brilliance emanates from the...
869The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$875.00
1885-CC MS-63, 1888-S AU, and 1903-O MS-64.
Brock Megran Collection. 1885-CC presents lovely white frost on the obverse, but the reverse is the star here, displaying a near-astounding palette of sea-green, magenta-gold and tangerine accents...
870The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$600.00
1885-CC GSA NGC MS-63.
Fields display relatively clean texture compared to the typical 1885-CC, since abrasions are distributed with nice consistency across both sides. Aluminum-white with active, rotating luster.
871The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$650.00
1885-CC NGC MS-64.
Checkered Collection. Shimmering white brilliance shows no tone at all, except for except for a couple of subtle golden dots on the reverse. Detailed with almost extreme precision, the curl over...
872The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$625.00
1885-CC NGC MS-64.
Checkered Collection. Fragile caramel-gold adorns the obverse, while pastel magenta-peach drapes the upper reverse then mingles with glimmering aqua-green toward the bottom rim. Very sharp gem...
873The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$675.00
1885-CC GSA NGC MS-64.
1885-CC, as Carson City aficionados know, always seems to show bag abrasions, but the good news is that this particular GSA example sports very clean, satin-fresh white fields and only delicate...
811The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$550.00
1885-CC MS-63.
Berry Tree Collection. Only a faint touch of apricot toning on the rims denies a fully white appearance, though the frosty, lustrous presentation will appeal to many Carson City collectors. Better...
812The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$605.00
1885-CC (VAM-2) GSA NGC MS-63.
Box and certificate included. A modest amber-peach accent drifts over the obverse upper left, or else the entire coin would be considered untoned. The MS-63 grade permits some minor abrading of the...
898The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$850.00
1885-CC, and an 1888-S, both NGC MS-62.
Fields suffer just minor luster grazes for 1885-CC, but Liberty's portrait shows significant abrading overall, while the reverse looks fully MS-63+. 1888-S features superlative luster and frankly...
899The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$578.00
1885-CC NGC MS-62.
Completely stark white with flat, broad luster on either side that appears somewhat prooflike at first glance. Though rather well struck, the reverse shows a considerable number of parallel roller...
900The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$650.00
1885-CC (VAM-2) NGC MS-64.
Better defined than average for 1885-CC, with intricate details carefully delineated in Liberty's hair and the eagle's piercing countenance. Blast white in its entirety, there is not even a speck of...
901The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$925.00
1885-CC NGC MS-65 CAC.
Scorching white overall, a single tan micro-dot toward the top of the obverse represents the only intrusion upon a vast quantity of gleaming cartwheel luster. Strands of hair over Liberty's ear, and...
991The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$650.00
1885-CC MS-64.
Staggering luster blazes from silvery-white fields, with light reflectivity that provides somewhat prooflike character against matte frosted devices. An exceptionally beautiful Carson City with the...
760The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$925.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-63DMPL, and an 1885-O PCGS MS-64DMPL.
Spectacular, flashy coins comprise this duo, offering amazing eye-appeal that aspires to full white brilliance. 1885-CC grades MS-63 DMPL, and may have limited upside potential due to a noisy cheek,...
761The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$550.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-64.
VAM-2. Untoned, with fields shimmering under heavy silvery luster. Liberty's portrait is rather well abraded, something collectors have come to expect from Carson City dollars at the MS-64 level.
762The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$750.00
1885-CC GSA MS-65.
The Knob Lick GSA Collection. VAM-3. MS-65 or very nearly so, although a sliver of greyish toning points at Liberty's temple. 1885-CC represents a somewhat tougher date in the series at high grade,...
703The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$750.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-65.
Astounding laser sharpness is readily evident even in the usual "problem areas" for Morgan dollars. The delicate hair curls over the ear are fully defined, and not even a single feather on the...
704The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$850.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-65 CAC.
Mintage of barely a quarter-million pieces helps explain why 1885-CC is always a more expensive Carson City dollar in GEM grade. Shimmering white luster envelopes this CACed example, and the strike...
777The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$2,000.00
1885-CC GSA NGC MS-66.
Superiority over the MS-65 level is pretty obvious, as the fields and Liberty's cheek are essentially free from contact, the only distractions being tiny scattered luster grazes. Radiant white luster...
664The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$750.00
1885-CC PCI MS-64 and 1903-O PCI MS-63.
PCI has encapsulated this pair of mintmarked Morgan dollars, with any alternate opinion expressed in [brackets]. 1885-CC shows a grade of MS-64, and this seems reasonable despite quite a profusion of...
665The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$500.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-64.
Eggshell-white surfaces exude silky clean appeal, and this would undoubtedly be a full "gem" if not for a moderate supply of luster abrasions on Liberty's cheek and throat. Not one singular abrasion...
666The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$475.00
1885-CC GSA MS-64.
Tiny ticks pepper the lower half of the obverse left field, while the right field is clean, and Liberty's cheek displays no major marks, just tiny abrasions. The reverse easily grades MS-66 all by...
782The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$500.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-64.
A well struck coin, there is scarcely a hint of weakness on either side, and even the strands of hair above Liberty's ear are individually delineated. Striking contrast between the fields and devices...
783The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$750.00
1885-CC NGC MS-65.
Reverse striking details are exceptionally strong, while the obverse displays the slightest incompleteness above the ear, although most collectors will consider the coin to be very well struck. There...
784The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$925.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-65.
The reverse is marvelously pristine and could easily qualify for an MS-67 grade all by itself, while the obverse side is by no means shabby itself. Both sides are wickedly bright and white, with a...
785The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$800.00
1885-CC (VAM-8) NGC MS-65.
VAM-2 is readily attributed by a dash beneath the second "8". Obverse luster is a trifle weak for this gem, while the reverse shines with unquestioned appeal. The rims are gently kissed with...
604The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$450.00
1885-CC GSA MS-60.
Fields are fairly unabraded, but Liberty's cheek displays significant abrasion from coin-to-coin contact. Box and certificate are included.
605The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$800.00
1885-CC GSA NGC MS-65.
Frosty with very minor luster grazes seen on each side. Box and certificate are not included.
604The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$600.00
1885-CC (VAM-2A) MS-63/minor PVC on reverse.
Exuberant cartwheel effect derives from extensive luster sparkling throughout both sides, and the strike is about average for 1885-CC. Gleaming white, except for hazy splotches of PVC residue on the...
954The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$1,050.00
1885-CC and 1891-CC.
The 1885-CC is in a PCGS green label holder graded MS-64, while the 1891-CC is graded NGC MS-63. Curiously, the NGC coin looks a little better than it's higher graded PCGS counterpart, but this could...
955The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$2,100.00
1885-CC, 1890-CC, 1891-CC and 1900-O/CC.
Carson City related products form this lot, all certified. Dates include: 1885-CC (NGC MS-62 PL), 1890-CC (PCGS MS-63), 1891-CC (PCGS MS-63 PL), and 1900-O/CC (PCGS MS-63). None of these is...
956The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$775.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-63DMPL.
Extreme contrast instantly erases any question as to the accuracy of the DMPL designation. Some spotting in the reverse fields is notable but has little impact on the grade.
957The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$475.00
1885-CC MS-63PL.
Very tempting of a prooflike designation, as the contrast is obvious, but mirrors just barely miss out on enough reflectivity to warrant the designation. However, the fabulous multi-spoked mint...
958The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$725.00
1885-CC VAM-3 PCGS MS-63DMPL.
Shimmering fields provide a deeply reflective backdrop for the silvery-white devices, though the obverse seems to have bit more pronounced contrast than the reverse. VAM-3 features the mintmark...
959The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$475.00
1885-CC GSA MS-64.
GSA box and holder are included for this 1885-CC, which grades MS-63 or so. Steam-white with plenty of luster and a moderately sharp strike.
960The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$525.00
1885-CC NTC MS-65.
This 1885-CC Morgan seemingly meets the requirements for the "gem" grade assigned by NTC. Generally white overall, except where the rims are briefly met with a sliver of color.

1885-CC GSA Morgan dollar. Unc.

1885-CC ANACS MS-63 Cameo DMPL.
A stunning, brilliant silver jewel that flashes with extremely deep mirrors and the type of contrast one expects of the DMPL designation. In addition, as often is the case for coins in transitional...
669The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$475.00
1885-CC GSA NGC MS-64.
GSA dollar dated 1885-CC. NGC has graded this white coin as MS-64. No box or certificate is included.
670The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$775.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-65.
Off-white with touches of beige-gold around the rims. The cheek is a little chattery, but this coin exudes terrific cartwheel luster.
671The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$800.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-65.
Evidently an album stored coin, coal-dark accents touch the majority of the obverse rim, though the reverse rim is much less affected. Prodigiously well struck, extravagant mint luster really does a...
672The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$850.00
1885-CC VAM-4 PCGS MS-65.
Shimmering ice-white brilliance is entirely uninterrupted by the slightest trace of color, except for a minuscule ashy deposit above ATES on the reverse. It is unlikely the strike could be improved...
690The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$825.00
1885-CC Morgan dollar, PCGS MS-63 DMPL
Sheer white devices float beautifully atop the glassy fields, though some substantial cartwheel luster remains on this coin. This piece merit upgrade consideration, but a couple of slide marks may be...
691The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$925.00
1885-CC Morgan dollar, PCGS MS-63 DMPL
A thin gash near the bottom of Liberty's cheek may be all that serves to keep this coin at the "choice uncirculated" level, but there is no doubt about the DMPL status. Highly reflective fields yield...
692The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$1,450.00
1885-CC (lot of three) Morgan dollars, PCGS MS-64
Each coin in this trio displays the evidence of roller marks that is so common for the 1885-CC issue. All are meticulously white coins, and interestingly, the mintmark is different for each,...
775The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$900.00
1885-CC ANACS MS-63 Cameo DMPL.
During their transition from the small, original coin capsules to their current holders, some coins were certified by ANACS in the original sized capsules, but with a different font used to print the...
776The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$475.00
1885-CC VAM-3 PCGS MS-64.
Nearly PL white coin with tons of frost.
777The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$475.00
1885-CC GSA MS-64.
Crystal clear fields display few blemishes save a shallow but lengthy line across Liberty’s cheek. Very close to gem.
778The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$825.00
1885-CC GSA MS-65.
A limited dose of bag friction appears on the cheek, and the fields display hardly any blemishes. Crystal-clear brilliance beams off of both sides, and this coin has a legitimate, though slim, shot...
768The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$475.00
1885-CC GSA MS-63+.
Visual magnificence is perceived on the obverse of this very desirable Carson City date. A delicate blue transmutes to a fiery red that softens to an exquisite gold. The reverse depicts a satiny...

1885-CC MS-64.
This Carson City representative has a blinding brilliancy that supports its snow white design elements. Some minute surface marks are perceived on this magnificently struck and highly sought-after...
770The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$475.00
1885-CC GSA MS-64.
There is a little too much chatter on the face to call this coin MS-65, but the reverse is so nice that some might be tempted. It is lustrous and extremely well struck.
771The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$475.00
1885-CC GSA MS-64.
Frosty white on both sides, so it is an appealing example of the date. It is one of those coins that is an MS-65+ on the back and MS-64 on the front.
772The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$470.00
1885-CC GSA MS-64.
Wow, what a reverse. It looks nice enough to call MS-67. The obverse, however, is more in line with the MS-64 grade. Both sides are frosty white, lustrous, and strongly defined.
773The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$470.00
1885-CC GSA MS-64.
Frosty white and lustrous on both sides with a scuff mark behind Liberty, and some chatter in front, preventing a higher grade. The reverse looks like an MS-67.
774The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$800.00
1885-CC NGC MS-65.
This highly regarded Carson City Morgan Silver Dollar exhibits a breathtaking frosty white appearance on its delicate velvety surfaces. Viewing this overpowering visual appeal virtually negates the...
775The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$775.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-65.
The luminous, satiny surfaces support frosty motifs and are embellished with a vivid golden iridescence. The light ticks appearing on Liberty are practically inconsequential when evaluating its...
802The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$425.00
1885-CC MS-60++.
This very desirable specimen is from a production of a mere 228,000. Its flashy radiance gives it a vibrant visual image. Because of a random sprinkling of ticks and some minuscule toning splotches,...
803The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$525.00
1885-CC GSA MS-63 DMPL.
Well, now I'm going to need a seeing eye dog at the next auction because I just caught a direct shot of light that was reflected from the surfaces of this coin right into my eyes. There goes my coin...

1885-CC PCGS MS-63.
This perennially longed for Carson City issue presents a frosty white bearing that is supplemented by a rich golden blush on its reverse. Some delicate scuffs before Liberty's profile, and a scant...

1885-CC MS-64.
Mottled dark russet tones adorn the peripheries of the obverse, while the reverse has subtle violet tones. If this better date Carson City Morgan Dollar were struck just a little bit better, it might...
806The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$500.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-64.
Blazing white Carson City issue housed in an old yellow label PCGS holder. There are minimal marks and no distractions. This is the type of coin you should try to get for your collection.
669The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$650.00
1885-CC GSA MS-63.
The reverse of this coin is an absolute Gem, but the obverse is a little baggy. It is 100% white, and there are no surface distractions.
670The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$625.00
1885-CC GSA MS-63+ PL .
Frosty devices and mirrorlike fields give this dollar an attractive look. There are some marks on the cheek, but they are commensurate for the grade.
671The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$475.00
1885-CC GSA NGC MS-63.
This is a solid MS-63 Carson City Dollar that is dripping with luster. There is a weird little piece of flaked metal on Liberty's neck that could either be a cud or an extra piece of metal that was...
672The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$425.00
1885-CC MS-63.
A frosty white aspect enhances the obverse, while a glistening reverse is embellished with a golden blush. An array of unobtrusive ticks is observed on its obverse, plus some interesting die cracks...

1885-CC NGC MS-65.
If you are in the market for a super nice 1885-CC, here is a good one to choose. This little baby is dripping with luster and has very few marks. The strike is average for the date, but everything...
774The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$400.00
1885-CC MS-60+.
A solid coin that has the detail and flash of an MS-63. The obverse and reverse both have some die polishing lines that are holding this coin back from being an MS-62 or higher. There is a bit of...
776The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$435.00
1885-CC GSA MS-62.
A lovely example that we have graded conservatively because of a mark on Liberty's chin. Frosty on both sides and with loads of luster. The reverse is of the quality you are used to seeing on MS-65...
777The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$875.00
1885-CC PCGS MS-63 DMPL.
A breathtaking layer of original violet hues cover much of the surfaces on both sides. The relief on the reverse is nice and frosty, which contrasts well with the mirrored fields.
778The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$450.00
1885-CC GSA MS-63.
This issue's frosty white aspect complements its boldly detailed design elements. The contact marks that are observed present no real detraction. This particular example is accompanied by its...

1885-CC NGC MS-64.
As I sit here watching the snow fall, and listen to Christmas Songs on 102.5 FM, I can't help but wonder, "Why doesn't Santa ever bring me coins like this?" This Carson City issue is not only a...
