Lot 3176
1893-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. White and frosty. Pop 823; 384 in 64; 7 in 65. The satin-like luster is only lightly impacted by abrasions of any size due to one coin getting in touch with another in the bag. Fresh silvery bright fields and devices make for an impressive appearance. Also, the strike is strong for the date, with just a touch of softness over the ear of Liberty.
It bears repeating: after the 1889-CC and 1879-CC, the 1893-CC is the most hard to pin down Morgan Dollar from the Carson City Mint in choice condition. It is, of course, an historically significant coin in being the final silver dollar struck at the Nevada branch mint -- a importance that serves to raise its popularity among specialists. This is an issue that was never available in large numbers. None were in Redfield. Only a few in The GSA distribution of the 1970s. When Mint State coins are offered, they tend to be one at a time, with the typical example bagmarked and confined to the lower Mint State grade range (PCGS # 7222) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
