Description
1893-CC Dollar, Bright and Frosty MS65
Exemplary Final-Year Semikey
Nearly Unseen Any Finer
1893-CC $1 MS65 NGC. The return of the anti-silver Democrat
Grover Cleveland to the White House in the presidential election of
1892 sounded the death knell of coinage operations at the Carson
City Mint. The last of the facility's Morgan dollars, a total of
677,000 pieces, fell from the presses in 1893. Although quantities
of 1893-CC dollars emerged from government vaults from the 1920s
through the late 1950s, their numbers were far fewer than those of
many of the CC-mint issues from the early 1880s. A date that was
essentially absent from the Treasury Department releases of the
1960s and the later General Services Administration sales, the
1893-CC is now widely recognized as one of the scarcer Morgan
dollars from the Nevada branch mint.The majority of extant 1893-CC dollars are extensively abraded and grade no finer than MS63. On the positive side, if one were able to locate a high-grade (MS64 or finer) representative, it would almost certainly display rich, coruscant mint frost. Sharp striking quality, however, is not a guarantee for this issue. In addition to mostly full definition, this Gem is praiseworthy for an uncommon lack of distracting abrasions. In fact, the number of blemishes is few, and there is not a single area of bothersome incompleteness of detail. Untoned, and possessed of memorable eye appeal. One of the finest certified 1893-CC Morgans, this coin shares the MS65 grade level with only seven other examples at NGC and 14 PCGS. Each service reports one finer submission (12/17).
