Lot Description

Superior quality coin at the assigned grade level. Bountiful luster in a satin finish shines forth powerfully from both sides of this brilliant and sharply struck example. The obverse shows pinkish-hued silver while the reverse glows in a base of sunset-orange, with beaming deep magenta, electric-blue, and emerald-green around the rim. Most 1891-CC dollars were paid out into circulation during the 1890s, continuing to 1910. It is little wonder that the 1891-CC is one of just a few Carson City Mint Morgan dollars that has been readily available ever since the year of issue. However, after 1962 to 1964, when it was found that few remained in the Treasury in comparison to the large quantities of CC-Mint dollars from the early 1880s, the 1891-CC became scarce in a relative sense. The typical survivor grades no finer than MS-64 and in the finest Mint State grades, as here, the 1891-CC is a noteworthy condition rarity that would be just right for an advanced collection.
