Lot Description

This is an exceptionally well preserved, highly attractive example of a conditionally challenged Carson City Mint Morgan dollar issue. Sharply struck throughout, both sides are brilliant apart from halos of faint champagne-gold peripheral iridescence. With a full endowment of billowy mint luster and a silky smooth appearance, this coin is a delight to behold and will please even the most discerning numismatist.<p>Despite a more generous mintage of 1,618,000 pieces, the 1891-CC is scarcer in Mint State than the lower mintage 1880-CC, 1881-CC and 1885-CC Morgan dollars, to say nothing of the 1882-CC, 1883-CC and 1884-CC issues. Even so, the 1891-CC is readily available in grades up to MS-64, although even low end Uncirculated coins are in high demand because of the coveted CC mintmark. Gems in MS-65 are scarce, and those certified any finer are decidedly rare. Among the finest known to PCGS, this gorgeous premium Gem would serve as a highlight in an advanced collection of Morgan dollars or Carson City Mint coinage.
