1891-CC Morgan Silver Dollar — Carson City Mint
Own a remarkable piece of American numismatic history with this 1891-CC Morgan Silver Dollar, struck at the legendary Carson City Mint in Nevada during the closing years of the American frontier.
Designed by George T. Morgan, the Morgan Silver Dollar was first introduced in 1878 and became one of the most iconic coins in United States history. The Carson City Mint, operating from 1870 to 1893, played an important role in transforming silver mined from Nevada's famous Comstock Lode into American coinage.
The obverse features a detailed portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with agricultural elements, while the reverse displays a majestic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch. The distinctive CC mint mark appears beneath the eagle, identifying the coin's historic Carson City origin.
Struck in 90% silver, the 1891-CC Morgan Dollar is a desirable collectible for its connection to the American West, its famous mint mark, and its place among the final years of Carson City silver dollar production.
