Despite a seemingly low mintage, the 1881-CC Morgan Silver Dollar is
common in Uncirculated grades, including Gem condition. Prooflikes
and Deep Mirror Prooflikes are readily obtainable The Uncirculated grade
seen most often is MS-64, followed by MS-63 and MS-65 (which are seen with
almost identical frequency). The finest examples graded by PCGS are
3 MS-68's, 13 MS-66
Prooflikes, and 36 MS-66 Deep Mirror Prooflikes.
