Congressman Mark E. Amodei holds the 2021-CC Morgan dollar
A privy-marked 2021-CC Morgan dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint was formally presented Sept. 14 to the Nevada State Museum in-person by Rep. Mark E. Amodei, R-Nev. The museum is located in the former Carson City Mint building.
U.S. Mint Director David J. Ryder participated in the Sept. 14 presentation virtually via videoconferencing.
The coin presented by Amodei to the Nevada State Museum is the example he struck at the Philadelphia Mint on July 19, said U.S. Mint spokesman Michael White.
Amodei presented the coin to the museum on behalf of the Mint. The coin was not one of the first strikes, White said.
The historical significance of the Carson City Mint is an integral part of who we are, Amodei said Sept. 14. Today, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the last Morgan Dollar minted in the U.S. It is only fitting that the Carson City Mint played such a significant role in numismatic history and in this Commemorative Morgan Silver Dollar Coin Program.
