NGC Certifies Double Struck 1884 Carson City Morgan Dollar
Although there are a few double struck Morgan Dollars known to exist, they were slightly rotated between strikes.
This double struck Carson City Morgan Dollar is a significant rarity for several reasons. The fact that it is a major mint error struck by the Carson City Mint alone places it on the want lists of many serious collectors, whether their interests are Morgan Dollars, coins from Carson City or major mint errors.
In addition, it is rare as a mint error since the first strike was struck 25% off-center. It is exciting since it is still in the original GSA holder and has subsequently been certified by NGC as a MS 63 Proof-Like.
