Remarkable 1893-CC Dollar, MS64

1893-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. Ex: D. Young Collection. This semi-key Carson City near-Gem displays vibrant cartwheel luster, and the strike is meticulous throughout. Each side has wisps of sun-gold toning, but the carefully preserved surfaces are nonetheless close to brilliant. Nearly uncollectible any finer. The final year of the Carson City Mint, which had higher operating costs per coin produced than the other branch mints of the day, New Orleans and San Francisco. The Carson City facility officially became an assay office in 1899, and finally closed in 1933. The building still stands today, and operates as a museum.(Registry values: P8, N2998)
