Morgan Dollars
1893-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-5. Ex: Redfield. The Panic of 1893 and the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act relieved the United States Mint of its mandate to strike millions of unneeded silver dollars every year. Accordingly, the famous Carson City Mint was deemed redundant and shuttered its doors on June 1, 1893, ending a storied period in American coinage. A small mintage of 677,000 Morgan dollars was struck earlier in the year, to delight present day collectors. The 1893-CC is an elusive issue in high grade, as it was not well-represented in the GSA sales of the 1970s.
This attractive Choice example surfaced in the famous Redfield Hoard, a gathering of more than 600,000 Morgan dollars compiled by eccentric Nevada collector LaVere Redfield. The design elements are sharply detailed and the mostly brilliant surfaces are well-preserved, with vibrant mint luster and strong eye appeal. PCGS has graded 19 numerically finer examples, including one with the Prooflike designation (2/24).
