COIN OF THE DAY

1893-CC Morgan Dollar MS64+ PCGS CAC-

The 1893-CC is the final Carson City Mint silver dollar. It is also a key date issue in the Morgan series, being one of the most challenging issues of its type to locate in high grades and with strong eye appeal. For starters, the mintage is limited to just 677,000 pieces, and survivors are scarce in an absolute sense. Additionally, many 1893-CC dollars are poorly struck in the centers, and most Mint State survivors are also heavily abraded. The present example is clearly superior, and it would serve as a highlight in an advanced collection of Morgan dollars or Carson City Mint coinage. Only 15 coins have been certified finer by PCGS.

Plus designation displaying brilliant mint luster and uncommonly sharp central detail. Only a tiny fraction of MS64 coins have CAC endorsement. Population: 50 in 64+, 18 finer. CAC: 69 in 64, 2 finer .
