Choice Mint State 1893-CC Morgan Dollar

1893-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. Although the Carson City Mint building still stands today, and serves as the home of the Nevada State Museum, coinage activity on Carson Street ended in 1893. Recently, while attending a bowling tournament in Reno, Nevada, this cataloger had the pleasure of visiting the Carson City Mint facility. Several exhibits are in place, relating to Nevada history, including some encompassing numismatics. A virtually complete set of Carson City coinage comes to mind. We recommend a tour of this facility to everyone who has an interest in coins or in history.
This is a lovely Choice Mint State example with amazing eye appeal. Most examples of the 1893-CC dollar are heavily bagmarked, however, this is a wonderful exception. Both sides have bright silver luster and are sharply struck. The obverse fields have a hint of reflective surface, with the reverse fully lustrous and frosty. Population: 327 in 64, 7 finer (10/04).(#7222) (Registry values: P8, N2998)
