Description

Elusive Near-Gem 1893-CC Morgan Dollar

1893-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. Dazzling cartwheel luster is seen in the fields of this brilliant near-Gem from final year of coin production at the Carson City Mint. The bright surfaces only show scattered small marks that are typical for the grade. According to Bowers' Encyclopedia, this issue is rare at the MS64 level, where perhaps 1,000 to 2,000 survivors would qualify. Currently (6/09), far fewer than that number have been certified as near-Gems, by NGC and PCGS combined.
