CoinTalk Member Reports Adding an 1885-CC Morgan Dollar to Their Collection
A member of the CoinTalk forum posting as Collecting Nut reported adding an 1885-CC Morgan Dollar to their collection, writing that it has lines from a cleaning but was bought below the going rate. The member said only the 1893-S is still needed and that one recently sold at auction for over $3000 before the buyer's premium.
Correction (Oct 13, 2026): We rewrote the headline, summary and body to match the source, two forum posts by a single member reporting the purchase of an 1885-CC Morgan Dollar. We removed statements not found in the source, including references to Reddit's r/coins, thanks from a platform team, collecting history in medieval Europe and Edo-period Japan, the digitalization of collecting, democratized grading technology, and a shift toward alternative assets. The previous headline was "Collector Shares Morgan Dollar Acquisition, Discusses Collection Goals."
This article is based on posts in a CoinTalk forum thread titled "74,000 Likes Celebration." The source does not give the posting dates. The posts reflect the member's own account and opinion and have not been verified.
The thread consists of two posts by a member posting as Collecting Nut. The member wrote, "I hit this sometime during the night," and showed an 1885-CC Morgan Dollar.
Cleaning lines, but "below the going rate"
According to the post, only 228,000 of the coin were minted. The member wrote that despite lines from a cleaning, they were glad to add it to their collection.
The member said they need only the 1893-S "to have them all." That coin will cost a lot more, the member wrote, but this one was bought at a good price, below the going rate.
An 1893-S at a recent auction
In a second post, the member wrote of seeing an 1893-S at a recent auction that went for over $3000 before the buyer paid a premium. The member added that it was not as nice as this one. The post does not name the auction or give its date.
