Lovely Choice 1893-CC Dollar

1893-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. As a reminder of the final year of operation for the Carson City Mint, the 1893-CC Morgan dollar has been popular for decades, and the significant attrition experienced by the issue of under 700,000 pieces has only increased numismatists' fervor. This pleasingly detailed piece shows powerful luster and pleasing overall detail, with only the slightest trace of softness at the hair over Liberty's ear. Subtle green-gold tints at the margins and a hint of pink in the centers reinforce the shining silver-white prevalent in the fields. Though the 1893-CC is available in Choice, finer examples are highly elusive, with only eight such pieces graded by PCGS (6/08).(Registry values: P8, N2998)
