Morgan Dollars
1891-CC $1 MS65+ PCGS. The 1891-CC is far less available in high grades than those Carson City dollars from the early-to-mid 1880s. Few coins from this issue were released as part of the GSA hoard in the 1970s (5,687 pieces in all). Gem representatives are somewhat scarce, although Plus-designated examples like this are very scarce. Anything finer is conditionally rare. Entirely brilliant with radiant cartwheel luster and a crisp strike. Light chatter on the neck barely prevents a full Premium Gem assessment. There are 36 higher grading events at PCGS (11/16).
