The 1880-CC Morgan Dollar was struck at the Carson City Mint with a recorded mintage of 591,000 coins — the 11th-lowest of the 96 circulation-strike issues in the morgan dollar series, and 2% of the 27,396,000 morgan dollars the Mint produced across all facilities in 1880.
Official mintage 591,000 - but the Mint condemned and destroyed 96,000 of them for substandard silver purity, a net issue near 495,000; 8/7 overdate and Reverse of 1878 varieties.
