Satiny Near-Gem 1893-CC Dollar

1893-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. The 1893-CC rang down the curtain on the legendary performance of the Carson City Mint in the role of Morgan dollar manufacturer. It is unfortunate that the last issue is not the best-produced, but such is the case. The present piece shows the typically weak strike on the hair over Liberty's ear, but happily, singular abrasions are few save on Liberty's cheek. Satiny luster and clean fields elsewhere, especially on the reverse, more than compensate. PCGS has certified only nine examples in finer grade (3/09).(Registry values: P8, N2998)
