1893-CC Morgan Dollar ($1)

The 1893-CC Morgan Dollar represents the final year of coinage from the legendary Carson City Mint, marking the end of an era in American numismatic history. The Carson City Mint closed its doors shortly after producing these dollars, making every CC-mint Morgan a coveted piece of Western American history. This closure was primarily due to declining silver mining output in the Comstock Lode and political changes following the Panic of 1893.

This VF30 example certified by NGC displays honest wear consistent with its grade and circulation history. The coin has developed a pleasing medium-gray patina that enhances its authenticity and visual appeal. Despite moderate circulation, the key design elements remain clear, with good definition in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. The iconic "CC" mintmark is bold and distinct, and the surfaces show no problematic marks beyond what's expected for the grade. A fitting representative of the last Morgan dollar to emerge from this storied frontier mint.
