Morgan Dollars
1893-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. The Carson City Mint struck 677,000 Morgan dollars in 1893 before the facility's coining operations were shut down permanently on June 1. Examples of this final-year issue, widely pursued in all grades, survive in considerable numbers through MS63, though they always garner strong prices because of intense collector demand. Choice representatives are scarce, while Gems are very rare, occasionally breaching the six-figure threshold. The reason is clear: PCGS reports only 14 grading events finer than the coin offered here, likely including resubmissions (10/16).
This brilliant near-Gem presents radiant surfaces aglow in luminous mint frost. Each side displays bold strike characteristics, and only a touch of softness occurs on the left-hand stars. Minor marks on the cheek and eagle's breast are visible upon close examination, but the fields are notably clean.
From The Stichter Collection.
